Report: Poison Gas Kills 7 in Homs
(Ynet News) Seven people were killed in Homs' rebel-held neighborhood of al-Bayyada when they inhaled poison gas sprayed by Syrian Army forces, opposition activists told Al-Jazeera on Monday. Scores of others suffered from nausea, relaxed muscles, blurred vision, and breathing difficulties. "Medics are saying it's something similar to sarin gas," said Raji Rahmet Rabbou, an activist in Homs. In a video posted online, a man who inhaled the gas said, "I felt something within a few seconds. I felt my throat block up as I tried to breathe. I couldn't see; I was blinded. I felt that my muscles were relaxed. I was paralyzed. People had to carry me here."
