The world's chemical weapons watchdog said on Tuesday that it will send a team to Syria to investigate an alleged chlorine gas attack on civilians by President Bashar Assad's government forces. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said the Syrian government had agreed to the mission. The U.S. said last week that there were signs that a "toxic industrial chemical," possibly chlorine, was used in Syria during the last month and was investigating claims that Assad's regime was responsible.
