I Was Gassed by Bashar al-Assad



 'I am a survivor of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons attacks of Aug. 21, 2013. One year ago today, my heart stopped for 30 minutes after I inhaled nerve gas launched by Assad regime forces on my hometown of Moadamiya, a suburb of Damascus. The scene outside my front porch that morning was like something from Judgment Day:

 Neighbors I had known my whole life were running, screaming, and writhing in agony as an invisible killer claimed their lives.'
