Video shows new chemical weapons attack in Syria




BATTLEFIELD.
QUESTION IS, ARE THEY GOING TO
DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
A POISON GAS ATTACK ON A SYRIAN
VILLAGE ON APRIL 11th.
INFANTS GASP FOR BREATH BEHIND
OXYGEN MASKS AT THIS MAKESHIFT
HOSPITAL.
OTHER MEN SUFFOCATING AND
FOAMING AT THE MOUTH APPEARING
TO HAVE INGESTED A TOXIC
CHEMICAL.
AT LEAST TWO KILLED.
DOZENS MORE WOUNDED.
THE SYMBOL FOR CHLORINE PAINTED
ON THIS USED IN THE AIR ATTACK
IN THIS OPPOSITION VIDEO.
THE VIDEO COULD NOT BE VERIFIED
BY CNN BUT THE U.S. SAYS IT'S
SUSPICIOUS.
>> WE HAVE INDICATIONS OF THE
USE OF A TOXIC INDUSTRIAL
CHEMICAL, PROBABLY CHLORINE, IN
SYRIA THIS MONTH.
WE'RE EXAMINING ALLEGATIONS THAT
THE GOVERNMENT WAS RESPONSIBLE.
>> Reporter: U.S. OFFICIALS AND
WESTERN DIPLOMATS TELL CNN THEY
HAVE INDICATIONS ASSAD'S FORCES
LAUNCHED THE STRIKE AND SEVERAL
OTHERS IN THE PAST SEVERAL
MONTHS.
THE REGIME, THEY SAY, HAS BOTH
THE CHEMICALS AND MEANS TO
DELIVER THEM BY AIR WHILE THE
OPPOSITION DOES NOT.
THE REGIME SAYS THE GAS WAS USED
BUT BLAME THE ATTACK ON THE
REBEL GROUP WHICH HAS LINKS TO
AL QAEDA.
THESE PICTURES OF THE AFTERMATH
OF A CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK AT
THE HANDS OF THE REGIME SHOCKED
THE WORLD UNTIL THE U.S.
THREATENED MILITARY ACTION.
>> WHAT MESSAGE WILL WE SEND IF
A DICTATOR CAN GAS HUNDREDS OF
CHILDREN TO DEATH IN PLAIN SIGHT
AND PAY NO PRICE?
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT OBAMA
BACK PEDALED IN FAVOR OF AN
AGREEMENT TO ELIMINATE SYRIA'S
CHEMICAL WEAPONS STOCKPILE.
CHLORINE ISN'T AS DEADLY AS THE
SARIN GAS USED LAST YEAR, ITS
USE AS A WEAPON OF WAR IS
AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW AND
POSES A DILEMMA FOR THE U.S. AS
IT STRUGGLES TO RID SYRIA OF ITS
CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND DEAL WITH
THE WAR IN WHICH IT HAS LOST
CONTROL.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SAID IT
NEEDS DEFINITIVE PROOF BEFORE
DECIDING HOW TO RESPOND.
>> WE TAKE ALL ALLEGATIONS OF
THE USE OF CHEMICALS IN COMBAT
USE VERY SERIOUSLY.
WE'RE WORKING TO DETERMINE WHAT
HAS HAPPENED.
>> NOW, CHLORINE TECHNICALLY

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Attack on Yemeni Army Posts




The terrorist group ISIS claims responsibility
for attacks on Yemeni army posts, which left at
least 19 soldiers and 35 militants dead.
On Friday, Nov. 20, the militants attacked the
army in the eastern region of Hadramawt.
Earlier sources reported that al-Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula was responsible for the attack,
however, the group has not targeted army positions in months.
ISIS released a statement saying its three attacks killed
about 50 soldiers, a much higher
number than officials reported.
The main attack occurred at the western
entrance to Shibam, which is listed as a UNESCO
World Heritage site.
Local officials reported
that clashes broke out after a roadside bomb
exploded near an army patrol.
At the same time, a suicide bomber detonated
a car outside an army post near a residential area.
In recent months, ISIS has attacked both sides
in Yemen's civil war, including the Shiite Houthi militia,
Saudi-led forces and anti-Houthi fighters.
