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

Local Officials Review Security After Paris Attacks




TROOPERS WORKING AT THE
STADIUM.
FANS WERE ADVISED NOT TO BRING
ANY BAGS AND IF THEY DID, IT
HAD TO BE A CLEAR BAG.
OFFICIALS WANT TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT THE ATTACKS BEFORE
SECURITY IN OUR AREA IS
CHANGED.
Reporter: THESE ATTACKS WERE
CARRIED OUT THROUGH A
COORDINATED EFFORT, NOT A LONE
WOLF SCENARIO THAT ISIS HAS
FAVORED IN THE PAST.
THIS CHANGE IN STRATEGY MEANS A
CHANGE IN SECURITY EFFORTS HERE
IN THE U.S. THE COORDINATED
DEADLY ATTACKS IN PARIS A
DEVIATION FROM THE WAY ISIS HAS
STRUCK IN THE PAST.
SEVERAL OF THE ATTACKERS WERE
FRENCH CITIZENS.
ONE ATTACKER MADE HIS WAY TO
EUROPE AS A REFUGEE FROM SYRIA
WHO TRAVELED THROUGH GREECE.
THE RECENT MASSIVE WAVE OF
MIGRANTS INTO EUROPE IS WHAT
PETE KING SAYS ISIS TOOK
ADVANTAGE OF.
THIS IS THE FEAR WE HAD.
THIS IS THE NIGHTMARE, THAT
SOMEBODY POSING AS A REFUGEE,
REALLY A TERRORIST WOULD COME
INTO EUROPE AND ULTIMATELY THE
UNITED STATES.
Reporter: THERE ARE NEW
LESSONS TO BE LEARNED AS
INTELLIGENCE CONTINUES TO GROW
ABOUT HOW THEY WERE CARRIED
OUT.
I'LL BE INTERESTED FOR OUR
PURPOSES TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF
PHONE DEVICES WERE THEY
CARRYING?
WHAT TYPE OF APPS MAY HAVE BEEN
ON THAT THOSE DEVICES.
Reporter: A CHANGE IN TACTIC
MEANS A CHANGE IN TRAINING FOR
U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN FACED
WITH AN ACTIVE SHOOTER
SITUATION.
EVERY ONE OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS WAS PREPARED TO
DIE, THEY WERE EQUIPPED WITH A
SUICIDE VEST.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE
AWARE OF.
Reporter: SINCE THE PARIS
ATTACKS, THE NYPD HAS STEPPED
UP ITS PRESENCE WITH ITS
SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT.
SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER SAYS
SECURITY NEEDS TO BE HEIGHTENED
AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN
NOW.
INTELLIGENCE, RECOG KNOW
SENSE, DRONES, AND AIR STRIKES
ARE THE THINGS THAT ISIS IS
MOST AFRAID OF BECAUSE WE CAN
TAKE OUT THEIR LEADERS.
Reporter: TONIGHT HERE
OUTSIDE THE FRENCH CONSULATE,
YOU CAN SEE THE NYPD HAS
OFFICERS STATIONED OUT FRONT.
JUST ANOTHER VISIBLE EXAMPLE OF
