France, Britain say UN must have access to alleged Syria attack site
None
France and Britain said on Wednesday that United Nations inspectors currently in Syria should be allowed immediate access to the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack.
"We hope the UN team in Damascus will be given immediate and unrestricted access to this area to try and establish the truth. There is no reason not to be given access when (the site) is not so many miles from where they are doing their work now," British Foreign Secretary William Hague told reporters in Paris. "I hope this will wake up some who have supported the Assad regime to realise its murderous and barbaric nature," Hague added, before heading into a working dinner with his French counterpart Laurent Fabius.
