Chemical weapons experts demand Sudan 'chlorine attack' inquiry
Chemical weapons experts have called for an international inquiry into allegations that Sudan's military developed and used chlorine bombs. Former investigators said material examined in a media probe appeared consistent with a rudimentary chemical weapons programme. The OPCW said several countries had made a formal request to obtain clarification from Sudan regarding the allegations.
