Syria chemical weapons allegations

Middle East wars fuelling migrant crisis
The BBC has seen video and eyewitness testimony that appears to corroborate allegations of chemical weapons' use in the Syrian town of Saraqeb. So what do we know about the alleged instances of chemical weapons use in the conflict so far?
Syria's chemical weapons stocks, and the possibility that President Bashar al-Assad's government might use them, has been one of the factors that has most worried observers of the conflict.
In July 2012, the Syrian government implicitly admitted what had long been suspected by experts in the field of chemical weapons proliferation - that Syria had stocks of chemical weapons.
Damascus said the weapons, stored and secured by the armed forces, would never be used "inside Syria", but would be used against an external attack.
In March came allegations of the use of chemical weapons in the town of Khan al-Assal in northern Syria.
