Trigger Alert: Violence in Syria
BBC World News tonight:
French newscaster Laurent Fabius reported "independent tests showed the Syrian government used Sarin gas on protesters".
Test results were given to the UN. The UN stated that they can't verify the results because they have not been given visa's to enter Syria.
The United States reportedly stated that "they need more evidence" (per the BBC).
Additionally, the BBC reported that children are possibly being used by the Syrian government to "get their parents to talk and also as executioners".

"...I'm deeply concerned by recently adopted policies which punish children for their parents’ actions ... The thought that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable."
