Sarin used in Syria attack – OPCW

(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – A fact-finding mission by chemical weapons watchdog, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has concluded that the banned nerve agent Sarin was used in an attack in Northern Syria in April that killed dozens of people.

A United Nations (UN) panel will now try to determine if the Syrian Government was responsible.

The attack on Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib Province was the most deadly in Syria in more than three-years.

It prompted a retaliatory United States (US) missile strike against a Syrian Air Base the US said had launched the attack.
