Air craft carry liquid fuel, on board and in wing tanks.
Napalm was a chemical weapon too.
So are air fuel bombs.
Question: Why the hell would Assad bomb his own people with Sarin at a time when he's winning the war against terrorism in his country? Why would he carry such an attack to a place that has little military value like Idlib Province? He knows the west is waiting to pounce on any infraction, it would be stupid at this point to give the west pretext to escalate hostilities.
Which by the way seems to have happened, even before any investigation into the 'chemical attack' has begun.

Those are not Assads own people. Its a complicated situation but Assad is a Alewife Muslim which is the minority in Syria and he has little support among the other factions or sects of Islam which include Sunnis, Shia, Wahabbi's and Christians.
Would you would be willing to testify under oath, in a court of law that was factual information ?

Assad has been bombing his own people for years. Chemical weapons allow him to do it much more efficiently.
