Readers not frightened by nerve gas

Sixty-three percent of the 231 InMaricopa.com readers who answered the question “Do you fear Syria’s arsenal of nerve gas?” said they don’t. However, 37 percent do.

Syria’s military has loaded the precursor chemicals for the deadly sarin nerve gas into aerial bombs to use against its own people, according to reports from NBC News. 

The U.S. has warned Syria not to unleash the gas against rebels fighting to gain control of the country. 

This week, the U.S. and Germany announced intentions to send Patriot missiles and troops to Turkey’s border to deal with threats coming out of Syria. The U.S. is sending 400 troops to operate two Patriot missile batteries.
