Most results were Iraq and North Korea related.

I did see this in a google:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/chemical-weapons-used-against-syrians-says-defected-soldier.aspx?pageID=238&nID=14223&NewsCatID=338

Syrian army used chemical weapons against its own citizens, a defected Syrian soldier claimed.

Defections from the Syrian army continue to increase as a Turkmen-origin general, Fayez Amro, and three other army officials defected to Turkey last week, Hürriyet Daily News has learned.

Wonder why AJ isn't covering it?
