It seems that London will wait for the report of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which will send a special mission to the Syrian city of the Duma to investigate reports of the use of chemical weapons by government forces. A group of OPCW inspectors will go to the Duma in the near future, but exact dates are unknown.

The victims of the chemical attack of the Duma on April 7 were, according to various sources, from 40 to 200 people. The Assad regime stated that the poisonous substances were not used.
