Matthew Wagner- Syria 'chemical' attack: Experts finally visit Douma site

    This article details how OPCW  (organization for prohibition of chemical weapons) agents were able to enter the sites of the alleged chemical weapons attacks. The agents were able to take samples to determine the chemicals used in the attack which could help link Syrian and Russian forces to the attack. The samples and other evidence were sent to labs for testing to determine the chemical makeup. While the site had plenty of time to be tampered with by Assad's forces, the group remains hopeful for the results since the chemical traces will linger for several weeks after the attack.
