Syrian army soldiers have found chemical agents when they entered rebel tunnels in Damascus suburb of Jobar, Syrian TV reports, adding that some of them started suffocating. The US Navy's expanding its presence in the Mediterranean with a 4th cruise-missile armed warship. The move's a response to the escalating conflict in Syria.

Comment: With the news that the only evidence of a 'chemical weapons attack' having taken place in Damascus is a series of videos uploaded to Youtube by agitators in Syria the day BEFORE the attack is supposed to have taken place, it's starting to look like no such event took place at all. We're still gathering evidence, but it seems more likely at this this stage that, as we learned after the Houla Massacre, these victims we see onscreen were in fact attacked by 'the rebels' - place and date unknown - then videos of the horrific deeds were uploaded online, and the Syrian govt blamed in the full glare of international media attention.
