FILE - This Aug. 25, 2013 file photo shows black columns of smoke rising from heavy shelling in the Jobar neighborhood in East of Damascus, Syria. U.S. intelligence agencies did not detect the Syrian regime readying a massive chemical weapons attack in the days ahead of the strike, only piecing together what had happened after the fact, U.S. officials say. One of the key pieces of intelligence Secretary of State John Kerry later used to link the attack to the Syrian government _ intercepts of communications telling Syrian military units to prepare for the strikes _ was in the hands of U.S. intelligence agencies but had not yet been "processed," according to senior U.S. officials.
