U.S. Officials: Blood Samples Show Nerve Agent, Chlorine in Syria Gas Attack
(NBC News) Courtney Kube and Ken Dilanian - The U.S. now has blood and urine samples from last Saturday's deadly attack in Syria that have tested positive for chemical weapons, according to two U.S. officials. The samples suggested the presence of both chlorine gas and an unnamed nerve agent. The officials said they were "confident" in the intelligence, though not 100% sure. Officials also said the U.S. has compiled intelligence, including images, that indicate the Syrian government was behind the attack.
