UN Chemical Weapons Inspectors Leave Syria. Syria expects attack 'at any moment' [View all]

[The Straight Story]

UN weapons inspectors have left Syria, heightening expectations of a possible US-led attack on President Bashar al Assad's forces.

The 13-strong team left their hotel in Damascus in seven vehicles and then crossed the border into Lebanon, where they have arrived at Beirut international airport.

Yesterday, they finished collecting samples from the site of an alleged gas attack that the US claims killed more than 1,400 people, which they will now take to The Hague to be analysed.

A UN spokesman stressed that all available information, including lab analysis of the samples, had to be evaluated "before the mission can draw any conclusions about the incident".
