Nasty. CNN has a series of pics of dead children. Other agencies are covering the story. The initial blame is that Syria delivered the attack with support from Russia - the possible provider of the juice, or at least, providing the recipe and means of creation.
There are other theories floating around in cyberspace. Let your Google foo take you where it will.
This particular story come from the NY Times.
Over 70 dead so far. Of course, the number will rise.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — One of the worst chemical bombings in Syria turned a northern rebel-held area into a toxic kill zone on Tuesday, inciting international outrage over the ever-increasing government impunity shown in the country’s six-year war.
Western leaders including President Trump blamed the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad and called on its patrons, Russia and Iran, to prevent a recurrence of what many described as a war crime.
Dozens of people, including children, died — some writhing, choking, gasping or foaming at the mouth — after breathing in poison that possibly contained a nerve agent or other banned chemicals, according to witnesses, doctors and rescue workers. They said the toxic substance spread after warplanes dropped bombs in the early morning hours. Some rescue workers grew ill and collapsed from proximity to the dead.
