Hours after the closed-door meeting, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told CNN affiliate BFMTV that "a reaction of force must be taken" if the allegations are true.


"If the U.N. Security Council cannot do it, decisions will be made otherwise," Fabius said. But, he said, sending ground troops to Syria is out of question.

Still not seeing much in the way of coverage of this on US news, but BBC has videos and images.

From what's been shown, many appear to have been inside some building, and died. With the proximity of children and civilians, I wonder if this wasn't possibly a rebel chem weapons facility, where something went really wrong.

Hamas loves to hide behind women in children when striking Israel with rockets. I wonder if this wasn't a similar case, where they were making chem weapons in a 'safe house' for civilians, to avoid being targeted by the Syrian military.

We may never know.
