In 20 cases, the FFM concluded that chemical weapons were likely used, including chlorine in 14 cases, Sarin in three cases, and mustard agent in three cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These reports were shared with the States Parties of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Shella Abdulhalim<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) concluded on Monday that there is insufficient evidence to confirm the use of toxic chemicals as a weapon in the reported incident in al-Yarmouk, Syria on Oct.22, 2017.
