U.N. Chemical Weapons Inspectors Set to Enter Syria 
----------------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations says chemical weapons inspectors are poised to enter
Syria after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad agreed to allow them to
gather first-hand evidence of alleged chemical attacks for the first
time. The inspectors will investigate three sites of alleged chemical
use, including one outside Aleppo where at least 30 people died in
March. The Assad regime and anti-government rebels each blame each other
for the attack.
