Syria crisis: UN report confirms sarin gas 'war crime' in Damascus
[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24113553]Linky[/url][quote]The UN has confirmed "unequivocally and objectively" that chemical weapons have been used in Syria.
[url=http://www.un.org/disarmament/content/slideshow/Secretary_General_Report_of_CW_Investigation.pdf]A UN report[/url] says sarin gas was used in a rocket attack in the Syrian capital, Damascus, last month, although it has not attributed blame.
"This is a war crime," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said.
US allegations that the government was responsible led to threats of military action and then a US-Russia deal for Syria to make safe its chemical arms.
World powers will now try to hammer out a UN Security Council resolution.
Earlier, UN investigators said they were probing 14 alleged chemical attacks in Syria since September 2011.
Meanwhile, Turkey said it had shot down a Syrian helicopter close to its border. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said the aircraft was engaged by fighter jets after violating Turkish air space[/quote]

Edited by Cultmeister: 9/16/2013 5:05:53 PMNothing new; UN blithering about as usual. We knew weeks ago there was a chemical weapons attack. What we need to know, and what nobody is providing information about, is who orchestrated the attack. Everybody's (in the west) saying they 'know' it was the Assad regime but I have yet to see anyone in the media show evidence to back that up.
