The Syrian military is prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people and is awaiting final orders from Syrian president Bashar Assad, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing US officials.

The officials told NBC News that "the army had loaded precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, onto aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers."

According to the report, the officials added that the sarin bombs hadn't yet been loaded onto planes, but if Assad gives the green light, "there's little the outside world can do to stop it."
