Panel probing 14 suspected Syria chemical attacks

None

A UN war crimes panel is investigating 14 suspected chemical attacks in Syria, its chairman said Monday, dramatically escalating the stakes after diplomatic breakthroughs that saw the Syrian government agree to dismantle its chemical weapons program.

 

Paulo Sergio Pinheiro said the Geneva-based UN panel he heads has not pinpointed the chemical used in the attacks and is awaiting evidence from a separate team of UN chemical weapons inspectors expected to be made public later Monday. (AP)
