On Wednesday, April 29, Syrian activist groups reported yet another chemical attack. The recent chemical attack was in the northwestern province of Idlib where a dozen of people were claiming they were suffocating. Several groups in Idlib have reported seeing government helicopters dropping a least two barrels of chlorine on a town within the province. However, there is no proof the government are actually behind the chlorine droppings. This is not the first time such reports have been released, and according to one doctor, the victims smelled like bleach. The U.N. has received the reports, but have yet to do anything about it since there is no one to formally blame. However, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has condemned the use of chlorine in Syria as a break of international law. Yet, the council, in 2013, order the removal of Syria's chemical weapons which did not include chlorine.
