"Syria Conflict: Government Helicopters 'Drop Chlorine' On Aleppo"

"Syrian government forces have been accused of dropping barrel bombs containing chlorine from helicopters on a suburb of Aleppo, injuring 80 people.

Volunteer emergency workers say people suffered breathing difficulties after an attack on the Sukkari area.

The reports could not be independently verified. A UN-led inquiry concluded last month that the government had used chlorine on at least two occasions."

BBC News had the story September 7, 2016.
