BEIRUT — The international chemical weapons watchdog said Tuesday it will send a fact-finding mission to the Syrian town where a suspected gas attack took place over the weekend, after receiving a request from the Syrian government and its Russian backers to investigate the allegations.

In a statement, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said a fact-finding team is “preparing to deploy to Syria shortly.”
