In a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria, a number of children were also slaughtered among over 1000 civilians who were gassed to death, show reports.
According to the Mirror, responsibility for the sarin-style nerve gas bombardment in the Al Ghouta area, east of the capital Damascus, was immediately denied by President Bashar al Assad's regime.
Officials dismissed the claims as illogical and fabricated, saying that it was a sign of 'hysteria and floundering' by the government's enemies.
Foreign Secretary William Hague vowed that those behind the brutal attacks would be held to account.
