Britain sold nerve gas chemicals to Syria 10 months after war began

BRITAIN allowed firms to sell chemicals to Syria capable of being used to make nerve gas, export licences for potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride were granted months after the bloody civil war in the Middle East began.

The chemical is capable of being used to make weapons such as sarin, thought to be the nerve gas used in the attack on a rebel-held Damascus suburb which killed nearly 1500 people, including 426 children, 10 days ago.
