David Cameron faced flak from MPs at home and internationally from Bashar al Assad and his allies over any decision to take military action.
The West’s threatened bomb attack against Syria brought tensions to a head today as UN inspectors were shot at hunting for signs of a chemical weapons attack.
PM David Cameron faced flak from MPs at home and internationally from Bashar al Assad’s regime and its allies over any decision to take military action.
And there were signs of panic in Israel as people bought gas masks fearing they might become reprisal targets for Syria following a bombardment led by the US.
After finally getting the go-ahead to move in, UN experts came under fire looking for evidence of sarin nerve agent, believed to have caused up 1,400 deaths – hundreds of them children – in the Damascus suburb of Mouadamiya last week.
A UN statement said the lead vehicle was “deliberately shot at multiple times” by unidentified gunmen in a buffer zone between rebel and government territory.
The 4x4 was forced back to the UN’s hotel in central Damascus and the attack delayed the experts’ work, meaning they could only visit six of 12 sites on their itinerary.
