Or a deliberate attack created to try and force the western world into action. Getting the US/UN to attack president Assad would help ensure the opposition's victory. If Assad had wanted to he almost certainly would have been able to pull off his own version of Hussein's chemical attack.
I don't trust either side in this civil war, both sides are obviously going to do what they deem necessary to win the war.
Best bet would be to not get involved unless the war starts threatening neighboring countries, imo.
