Chemical Weapons Inspectors Not Allowed In Alleged Syria Attack Site

British officials say inspectors still aren't being allowed access to the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria.  The independent inspectors arrived on Saturday and the British said today Syria and Russia haven't yet allowed them to enter the Damascus suburb where the attack reportedly happened.  Britain, France, and the U.S. say Syrian forces with Russian support dropped chemical weapons on civilians in the opposition-held suburb on April 7th.  The inspectors are in Syria to determine whether chemical weapons were used and if so, what kind.  Russia's deputy foreign minister blamed the delay on U.S.-led airstrikes over the weekend.
