usa, israeli & jordan troops enter syria !, page-43

Syrian state television said troops found chemical agents in rebel tunnels in a Damascus suburb and some soldiers were "suffocating", intensifying a dispute over blame for a reported nerve gas attack that killed hundreds this week.

"Army heroes are entering the tunnels of the terrorists and saw chemical agents," it quoted a "news source" as saying. "In some cases, soldiers are suffocating while entering Jobar. Ambulances came to rescue the people suffocating in Jobar."

The Syrian government says it would never resort to chemical weapons against Syrian citizens and in the past has accused rebels of doing so for battlefield advantage, an allegation Western leaders have dismissed.

Assad's government has suggested rebels may have carried out the latest attack themselves to provoke foreign intervention.
