[4/6/17] A suspected chemical attack in rebel-held northwestern Syria killed dozens of civilians including children and left many more sick and gasping on Tuesday, causing widespread outrage.

The attack on the town of Khan Sheikhun killed at least 58 civilians and saw dozens suffering respiratory problems and symptoms including vomiting, fainting and foaming at the mouth, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.

Syria's opposition blamed President Bashar al-Assad's forces, saying the attack cast doubt on the future of peace talks.

The army denied any involvement however, issuing a statement blaming "terrorist groups" for using "chemical and toxic substances".

At least 11 children were among the dead, the Observatory said, and an AFP correspondent in Khan Sheikhun saw many attached to respirators.

If confirmed, it would be one of the worst chemical attacks since the start of Syria's civil war six years ago.

The incident brought swift international condemnation, with the United States, France and Britain all pointing the finger at Assad.
