Turkish security forces found a 2kg cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front who were previously detained, Turkish media reports. The gas was reportedly going to be used in a bomb.

The seizure of the banned chemical followed the recent seizure of two cylinders with Sarin from 12 members of the Jabhat al-Nusrah front by Turkish law-enforcement officers. The evidence trail may lead to Saudi-Arabia and Malaysia

oh look more gas you might not believe the syria side saying they found gas.
but surely turkey had no reason to lie seeing as they have been arming the rebels

- Gulf-based supporters have sent a 400-ton shipment of arms to Syria's outgunned rebels, one of the biggest to reach them in their two-year-old uprising, opposition sources said on Sunday.

The consignment - mostly ammunition for shoulder-fired weapons and anti-aircraft machine guns - came into northern Syria via the Turkish province of Hatay in the past 24 hours, and was already being handed out, the sources added.

Turkey has no reason to lie about al nusra having chemical weapons when they are anti assad and want him gone.

al nusra happily suicide bomb so why do people think they wouldn't cross Americas chemical weapon line? and get western help ?

It is perfectly reasonable to ask the question, it doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist.

It's fairly obvious that if somebody says something is 'being produced' rather than 'has been produced' that they mean its, well, err, still 'being produced'.

Some things deserve to be questioned but honestly, that was rather clutching at straws!

No, the being produced bit just means that production is ongoing.

I.e 'the chemical compand z was used and is thought to be from Saudi Arabia where it is still being produced'

that makes it more of a threat because there is potential for it to be used again, rather than implying that it has 'been produced' and used and is thus no longer a threat.
 
While you lot are spitting feathers cam and clegg have been saying no boots no invasion no regeme change not even getting involved in the civil war

Hoping they present some juicy evidence on thurs to backup why they are sure it was assad
 
From reading some of the articles, posts and quotes in this thread I feel like the mainstream media I am exposed to on a daily basis have brainwashed me into thinking something totally different.
 
Should just keep our noses out, who appointed us as the world police.

I would only go for action if there is backing form all the UN.

whats the arab league up to anyway cant they do something...

So we're going back to 'doing nothing' then?

Because I'm sorry but attacking the sovereign state for other connected reasons is essentially the same as intervening in the civil war.
 
maybe cameron read the comments on bbc news and sky news and realised the majority aren't uneducated enough for them to get away with another iraq
 
White House spokesman Jay Carney later said that a separate report on chemical weapons use being compiled by the US intelligence community would be published this week.

Well this should end the argument, if the intelligence community that down rated bin Laden and declared him not a threat then went on to bring us Saddam's WMDs say it was Assad that's good enough for me :P
 
Or maybe you lot just jumped to a conclusion that backs up your opinions

Also people asking about the arab league will notice that most of the key members have quite a lot going on at the moment
 
Sometimes I sit and wonder if GD is where all of the conspiracy theorists on the internet gather and share their drug and alcohol fueled nut job scenarios.

Apparently Syria has one of world largest chemical weapon stockpiles... Is there a chance they go YOLO and gas the whole region??

They will if we start flinging cruise missiles at them and the rebels certainly will if they get their hands on it if we can't secure them.

So we lose the whole reason for doing it either way.

I thought we were looking at the evidence which is

assad has chemical weapons
al nusra have had chemical weapons which turkey has even found (anti assad country)
al nusra are terrorists and commit suicide bombings etc
al nusra have labelled the US as enemies of islam.
the US has officially labelled them as terrorists.
al nusra are affiliated with al Qaeda and fought against us in Iraq.
al nusra are in control of the refineries , bakeries , gas plants , oil plants that they have taken from the rebels after the rebels took them from the assad regime
assad has nothing to gain from using chemical weapons
al nusra would love western bombings to give them a nice power vacuum they can fill

the US/UK seem to be ignoring that al nusra are a bigger thread to syria than assad ever has been.


you can't just bomb chemical weapon stockpiles so they will likely end up in al nusra hands and used against us at some point.

if we get involved sooner or later we are going to have to fight against al nusra to help the rebels win after assad has gone

Arknor what was that al qaeda afiliated terrorist slash rebel group called? I keep forgetting the name?

I'm not surprised seeing as you are refusing to believe they are a threat or even exist and are just trying to gloss over the conflict as a war between assad and the rebels when it is not

they sound like nice guys though I mean look how generous they are
Now, according the Reuters, the band of al-Qaeda in Iraq-affiliated rebels give children free loaves of bread if they attend hardline Islamic teachings

I guess if you want suicide bombers you have to train them young

Members of the group interviewed by Reuters say al-Nusra aims to revive the Islamic Caliphate, which dates back to the Prophet Mohammad's seventh century companions, forerunners of the large empire that once stretched into Europe.

That prospect alarms many in Syria, from minority Christians, Alawites and Shi'ites to traditionally conservative but tolerant Sunni Muslims who are concerned that al-Nusra would try to impose Taliban-style rule.
