Syria warned by chemical warfare watchdog over sarin attacks

THE HAGUE (HRNW) – Member countries of the global toxic arms watchdog on Thursday warned Syria they could take action after a probe explicitly blamed Damascus for nerve gas attacks for the first time.

The executive council of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) voted overwhelmingly to tell Syria it must declare all details about the facilities used to produce the sarin and chlorine used in the 2017 attacks.

The move comes after the OPCW s new investigations team said in its first report in April that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad s air force had used the two chemicals on the village of Lataminah in March 2017.
