Syria: Assad regime 'ready to use chemical weapons'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18864629#16 July 2012 Last updated at 18:36 ET
The most senior Syrian politician to defect to the opposition has told the BBC the regime will not hesitate to use chemical weapons if it is cornered.
Nawaf Fares, ex-ambassador to Iraq, said unconfirmed reports indicated such weapons might have already been used.
He also said that major bombings across Syria had been orchestrated by the regime in collaboration with al-Qaeda.
