State TV says 'chemical agents' discovered in Damascus as Assad regime continues to deny Wednesday's alleged attack
The Syrian government has said it has discovered chemical agents in tunnels in Damascus after the killing of hundreds of Syrians in a suspected chemical weapons attack on Wednesday.
Syrian state television said government soldiers found chemical agents in rebel tunnels in the Damascus suburb of Jobar on Saturday and some of the troops were suffocating.
"Army heroes are entering the tunnels of the terrorists and saw chemical agents," state television quoted a source as saying. "In some cases, soldiers are suffocating while entering Jobar."
"Ambulances came to rescue the people who were suffocating in Jobar," the broadcaster said, adding that an army unit was preparing to storm the suburb where rebels fighting to oust the president, Bashar al-Assad, are based.

Debka has been wrong way more than it’s been right, NO reputable news source IN Israel cites Debka as a source.
The latest trickles of info on casualties are coming from the French based Doctors Without Borders group.
They treated 355 people who died and have over 3500 injured under care.
I’m not going to fight you over the veracity of Debka but why do they put out this wild information?
Is this a disinformation site being used in the in the defense of Israel against its enemies?
Drawing the US into Syria keeps Obama tied down so he won’t be able to show the Palestinian state down Israel’s throat....
On the other hand, Europe and the US cannot wait to go to bat for radical Islam. I’d like to know why.
No one doubts chem was used, Whar we DOUBT is that assad used them, and doctors with or without borders would not know who used them either.
Placed in rebel tunnls by the CIA / Stevens under the direction of the POTUS who had him executed afterwards to cover it up.
“We need to stay out of there.”
THAT should go without saying.
Money, drugs, and oil.
Rockets?
Pumped out of a truck using flexible hoses?
Perhaps pumped out of cameras using flexible wires connected to terrorists.
If we can figure out which side used chemical weapons, we’ll at least know which side to be AGAINST.
Then we can send HELP in the form of massive shipments of gas masks to the innocent side to protect themselves while they take out the guilty chemical-weapons users.
In the meantime, firing cruise missiles into the horrible chaotic mess now known as Syria is not what the U.S. should be doing.
“The ball is in Obamas court and he will have the chance to play it any way he chooses or maybe not even play it at all.”
I guess the good thing is that he is hesitating to do anything so far.
Did I just say something positive about Obama? I must be ill!
That is a problem too because it has already been proven that the ‘rebels’ have used chem and as now, tried to blame the regime, but they didn’t hide the evidence so well and were busted. There is no good side here except for the Christians caught in the crossfire and being murdered by the rebels. For that reason alone, I would blow them to kingdom come, At least they were not persecuted, executed, and crucified by assad,
Well, not to worry...NSC director Susan Rice is on the case and asking for help from the Twitter universe. Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, Rice has issued a twitter BOLO alert for any leads---and the public is dutifully responding.
What is Assad hiding? National Security Advisor Susan Rice asks, Twitter answers
Been trying to get to the bottom of the live thread all day. Can’t. Even clicking on your links doesn’t help. I posted links to the live thread this morning and couldn’t scroll down those threads either.
“The ball is in Obamas court and he will have the chance to play it any way he chooses or maybe not even play it at all.”
Obama will go out and read whatever is on the teleprompter when his handlers decide it is time and what he will say.
Had the same trouble and used the last Live Egypt ping to me to get there.
Have you set your prefs back to 20/20?
This is the last post on the Live thread (which I am now keeping in a tab & refreshing):
