(MENAFN) The White House on Saturday condemned the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government after an international inquiry found its forces responsible for a third toxic gas attack in Syria's civil war.
In detail, the fourth report from the 13-month-long inquiry by the United Nations blamed Syrian government forces for a toxic gas attack in Qmenas in Idlib governorate on March 16, 2015.
In August, the third report by the inquiry blamed the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for two chlorine attacks - in Talmenes on April 21, 2014 and Sarmin on March 16, 2015.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Assad regime's defiance of the longstanding global norm against chemical weapons use", said the White House National Security Council spokesman.
