BEIRUT — U.N. inspectors will be allowed to access the locations of suspected chemical weapons attacks in the Damascus suburbs, Syrian state television said Sunday, a move that could provide independent verification of the events that unfolded last week.
There has been mounting pressure on the Syrian government to allow access to the team of inspectors since activists accused the government of mounting a large scale attack on rebel-held areas on the outskirts of the capital. State revision said details on the exact locations and timing were still being discussed.
Some 3,600 patients displaying neurotoxic symptoms were admitted to clinics and hospitals in less than three hours on Wednesday morning, Médecins Sans Frontières has said, of which 335 died. Some activist groups put the death toll at more than 1,000.
