in jabar, which is outside damascus in syria. it focuses on a little boy maybe eight years old in a roomful of what appear to be dead and dieing sdie i ing sir yanz. we ll going to video number 2 now. it was shot in guta. if we can go to video 2, it shows a man having a chemical reaction. i m still looking at there he is, in video 2, a man having a chemical reaction, it appears, vomiting. those who have seen the video in the intelligence community say these are symptoms consistent with an attack of a nerve agent, a chemical weapon. there s also a little girl who appears in this video in a yellow shirt. she is alive but also appears to be having a reaction. video number 3 of the 13 shown in the senate intelligence community was allegedly filmed in duma outside damascus. it starts off with some night
it s from eastern guta. it s the close-up of a face of a boy who appears to be in the midst of a severe reaction. again, these images are difficult to watch. we are showing them to you because it is part of what senators and members of the house are being shown as they make their decision. video number 6 is approximately two minutes long, this boy in the red shirt appears to be having convulsions. he s maybe five years old. very upsetting image. the intelligence community has told senators that these have been verified as authentic. video number 7 is approximately 18 seconds long filmed in the damascus suburb of kafur botna. it shows a bearded man convulsing on the ground. this is a quick video clip. video number 8 shot outside madamea outside damascus. appears to show a man frothing
at the mouth. we are told these have been verified and they show symptoms of a chemical weapons attack. video 9 of 13 shown to the senate. members of the house will be shown these videos shortly. if not before monday, then on monday. video number 9 shows the close-up of a boy with an oxygen mask on his face. later in the video, the boy sets up. he appears to be struggling, but he is alive. the intelligence community is telling members of the house and senate that the this is some of the proof of a sarin gas attack on the suburbs of damascus, syria. they say by the assad regime. these videos do not prove that. these videos do not show who carried out this attack. separately, the intelligence community says, they have evidence as to that. we have not been presented with that, the public or members of the media. video number 9, we showed that
already, the boy with the oxygen mask. video number 10 from kafur botna as well. it shows a little boy maybe two years old as they try to give him oxygen and water. very upsetting. the theory, of course, is that damascus is an area that has been sympathetic and supportive to the rebels, and conventional rebel fighting by the assad regime was not sufficient, and therefore this theory goes, not proven, theory, goes there was a chemical weapon attack on the suburb. we know a chemical weapon attack occurred. we do not know who did it. video number 11 of the 13 is also very upsetting, perhaps the most upsetting of all 13. a to be the dead bodies of many syrians, dozens of syrians, many of them children, some elderly individuals as well. video number 12 of the 13 shown, two members of the senate select committee intelligence, was filmed in duma outside damascus, showing bodies wrapped up in
as authentiauthentic. they seem to show the victims of a chemical weapons attack. they said they were consistent with sarin gas attacks. cnn, of course, cannot independently verify the authenticity of the videos. we re reporting on them. we have verified that senators were shown these videos by the intelligence community as the obama administration tries to make its case for limited military intervention in syria. we ve seen videos in the past few weeks about the barbarity of some of the rebels in syria. these are some of the videos also affecting the debate behind closed doors. before i show some more of these videos, i want to caution our viewers that some of these images are disturbing. they are individuals after having suffered a chemical weapon attack. so we ll start i think we cut off with video 7 last time. we re going to start with video number 8 of the 13.
