Toxic Gas Dropped On Syrian Town?

On Tuesday a Syrian rescue service operating in rebel-held territory said overnight a helicopter dropped containers of toxic gas on a town close to where a Russian military helicopter was shot down hours earlier.
The opposition Syrian National Coalition (SNC) accused President Bashar al Assad of being behind the attack. Previous accusations of using chemical weapons have been denied by Assad.
A spokesman for the Syria Civil Defence said 33 people. Most of the affected were women and children. The gas used is suspected to have been chlorine, in Saraqeb, in rebel-held Idlib province.
The group describes itself as a neutral band of search and rescue volunteers. They posted a video on YouTube apparently showing a number of men struggling to breathe and being given oxygen masks by people in civil defense uniforms.
