(Before It's News)



CAIRO – Assad-regime forces have used poisonous gas in Damascus, killing three people, the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces has claimed.

“Three people died and 25 people were left choking on Friday morning in Harasta town in the suburbs of Damascus as a result of poisonous gas,” the SMDK said in a statement on Saturday.

The organization said that the attack had happened at a time when Syria was obliged to hand over chemical weapons to UN teams, in accordance with a US-Russia agreement.

The Syrian regime agreed to the chemical weapons deal after the US threatened airstrikes in retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons attack that killed roughly 1,400 people in the suburbs of Damascus in August 2013.

Syrian officials have not responded to the accusations.

Meanwhile, Syria’s official news agency, SANA, reported that Assad-regime forces have taken control of Ra's el-Meera and Flita towns in Kalamun region near the Lebanon border.

More than 100,000 people have been killed during the three-year conflict, which has also internally displaced more than 6.5 million people, according to the UN.
