US says Russia arms shipment to Syria 'reprehensible'

A reported Russian arms shipment to Syria was "reprehensible" although it did not break any laws and the results of a Syrian government inquiry into a massacre in Houla was a "blatant lie", the US envoy to the United Nations said on Thursday.

"With respect to the reported docking of a ship carrying Russian arms, this is obviously of the utmost concern," US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told reporters. (Reuters)
