VX being the world’s most lethal nerve gas.
Via Daily Mail:
Brutal dictator President Bashar Assad has amassed more than 1,000 tonnes of poison gas including sarin and VX, the most toxic nerve agent ever created.
A leaked intelligence report said the tyrant possessed missiles capable of firing the deadly substances 300 miles – within range of British military bases in Cyprus.
The news comes as the U.S. insisted Washington had its own evidence that Assad henchmen used the deadly chemical wepaons against civilians.
Secret service chiefs in Paris also laid the blame for the massacre of civilians in a chemical attack in Damascus on August 21, which the US claims killed 1,429 civilians including 426 children, squarely on the regime.
Assad’s henchmen fired projectiles containing sarin into a rebel-held suburb simply to ’cause terror’, they concluded.
The four-page briefing paper was compiled by agents working for the Direction Generale de la Securité Exterieure, the French equivalent of MI6 and the Direction du Renseignement Militaire, the military intelligence corps.
