Horrific pictures reveal the slaughter in Syria as government forces capture key town and Britain accuses regime of attacking rebels with chemical weapons

Horrific pictures today revealed the scale of the ongoing slaughter in Syria after government troops regained control of a strategic border town from rebel fighters. The graphic images purported to show the corpses of rebels killed during the three-week battle over the town of Qusair, which was captured by Bashar Al Assad's forces today. The news comes as a British official insisted there is a 'growing body of persuasive evidence' that the regime has been using chemical weapons against its rebel opponents. It is believed that Assad's government has acquired such weapons, including the deadly nerve gas sarin, from foreign allies such as Russia and Iran.
