- Description
Shows ominous looking figures in gas masks working with nerve gas, and plotting how to use them. Context: The regime of embattled Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is actively working to enlarge its arsenal of chemical weapons, and in July 2012, warned that it could use chemical weapons to stop `external' forces from interfering in its bloody civil war. American policy-makers became deeply concerned that Damascus just might follow through on the threats. Since the July announcement, however, the world community, including Assad's allies, have made it clear to Damascus that unleashing weapons of mass destruction was unacceptable.
