In the video above, President Obama promises dire consequences should Syria's Assad use chemical weapons. Obama has been silent since such weapon use was reported on Christmas Day.
Free Syrian Army official Louai Muqdad told Asharq al-Awsat: "The opposition recorded 18 separate cases of chemical weapons attacks in the outskirts of Damascus, Idlib, Homs and Hama."
He said Assad was using a new type of toxic gas and estimated that the Syrian regime had only recently obtained the new weapons.
Asharq al-Awsat further reported the commander of Syria's military police, Maj.-Gen. Abdulaziz al-Shalal, has defected and joined rebel forces.
