U.N. chemical weapons experts have left Syria and crossed into neighbouring Lebanon.
An Associated Press crew saw the U.N. personnel cross into Lebanon from Syria through the country’s Masnaa border crossing early Saturday.

The team took samples from victims for examination in laboratories in Europe.
