TOPSHOTS A handout image released by the Syrian opposition's Shaam News Network on August 23, 2013, shows a relative weaping over the boody of one of his family members killed during what Syrian rebels claim to be a toxic gas attack by pro-government forces in eastern Ghouta earlier in the week, during their funeral on the outskirts of Damascus. The allegation of chemical weapons being used in the heavily-populated areas came on the second day of a mission to Syria by UN inspectors, but the claim, which could not be independently verified, was vehemently denied by the Syrian authorities, who said it was intended to hinder the mission of UN chemical weapons inspectors.
