Meanwhile, the war in Syria is not letting up.A Syrian doctor in a rebel-held area in the central province of Hama said government airstrikes were suspected of using toxic gas on Thursday on civilians and opposition fighters in the town of Latamneh. This is the second time such reports from this area in Hama have emerged. Another medical staffer has been taken to Turkey for treatment, he added. The doctor, who uses the name of Abu Mohammed, out of fear of reprisals, said his hospital was directly hit by suspected toxic gas last Saturday, killing a 40-year-old surgeon who suffocated while performing a surgery.
