"Assad called for help after feeling unwell on Sunday and his health deteriorated quickly and he began to 'choke.'"
"Almost immediately after the request, he began to cough violently and began to choke. Assad was given water, which helped to ease the attack a little, but normal breathing was still not restored..."
"Following a blood test this showed, 'traces of exposure to a toxic substance in his body,' the General SVR said."
"An investigation is underway, but it has not yet been possible to determine how Bashar al-Assad was exposed to the poison."
