Group: Assad regime likely responsible for chemical attack
None
Evidence strongly suggests Syrian government forces were responsible for a poison gas attack that killed more than 1,400 people, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday, contradicting repeated denials by Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The US-based rights group, in a report issued in New York, said it had reached its conclusion after analysing witness accounts, information of the likely source of the attacks, remnants of the weapons used and medical records of victims. (Reuters)
