Chemical weapons attacks have killed
hundreds on the outskirts of Damascus, Syrian opposition activists say.
Rockets with toxic agents were launched at the suburbs of the Ghouta region
early on Wednesday as part of a major bombardment on rebel forces, they say.
The Syrian army says the accusations have been fabricated to cover up rebel
losses.
The main opposition alliance said that more than 1,000 people were killed by
the attacks.
Activist networks also reported death tolls in the hundreds, but these could
not be independently confirmed.
