Syria chemical probe finds sarin exposure

A fact-finding mission of the global anti-chemical weapons watchdog has found indications that some people in Syria were exposed to deadly sarin gas, or a compound like it, according to a UN report. The findings come in the latest monthly report on Syria from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) chief Ahmet Uzumcu. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon attached it in a December 29 letter to the 15-nation Security Council.
