Courtney Kube reports that two United States officials are
now declaring that they are in possession of blood and urine samples from last
Saturday’s deadly Syrian attack that have tested positive for chemical weapons.
While not definitive, the officials say they are “confident” in the test
results. The tests show the presence of both chlorine gas and an unnamed nerve
agent. The Assad regime is known to have stockpiles of the nerve agent Sarin,
which is what was used last year and prompted the missile strike in April of
2017, they have also used chlorine gas in the past say U.S. officials. Russia
and Syria have denied any involvement in the alleged attack.
