US Senate panel releases videos of Syria chemical attack

September 08, 2013 11:50

A US Senate intelligence panel has released 13 videos showing images of the chemical attack in Syria allegedly carried out by President Bashar al-Assad's regime, as the White House pressed its case for military action in the strife-torn country.

Some of the graphic images of the chemical attack have been shown in the videos, which come days ahead of the debate and vote in the Senate on the resolution to authorise US President Barack Obama to launch "limited" military strikes against the Assad regime.

The videos, played to the members of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday were first leaked to CNN, which many media outlets said is part of an effort to build public opinion on the Syria attack.
