Mounting evidence is pointing towards the nerve gas sarin as the chemical behind the attack that killed more than 80 people, including at least 27 children, in Syria's Idlib province earlier this week.
Early assessments by U.S. intelligence officials, Doctors Without Borders and the U.N. health agency suggested that chlorine gas and traces of sarin were used in the bombing, which President Donald Trump called an "affront to humanity." On Thursday night, the U.S. military launched more than 50 cruise missiles at a Syrian air base in response to the chemical attack.
