Chemical Weapons Inspectors Reach Douma

Chemical weapons inspectors now have  samples from a Syrian town targeted in a suspected attack.  It's been  two weeks since reports emerged of a chemical attack on Douma, an attack  blamed on the Bashar al-Assad regime.  The Syrian government and its  Russian allies deny any involvement and accuse rebels of making up the  story.  The U.S., France and the U.K. fired missiles at Syrian targets  in response.  The inspectors with the  Organization for the Prohibition  of Chemical Weapons arrived in Douma Saturday and called the delay in  access to the site unacceptable.  The samples are being sent to a lab in  The Netherlands.
