US President Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast Aug.23 that new allegations of chemical weapons use by Syrian forces were of "grave concern".
In an interview with CNN he said the allegations this week by opposition forces were more serious than previous charges against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
"We are right now gathering information about this particular event, but I can say that unlike some of the evidence we were trying to get earlier that led to a UN investigator going into Syria, what we've seen indicates clearly this is a big event, of grave concern," the president said.
Obama stopped short of saying point blank the United States believes such weapons were used -- an act that in theory would cross what he has called a "red line".
