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]
