CHEMICAL WEAPONS: Ban Ki-moon accused Assad of "numerous crimes against humanity"

 

He was very unrestrained. Friday, September 13, the Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, who had hitherto remained fairly quiet on the Syrian thorny issue, accused the Syrian president "many crimes against humanity," before an audience of journalists.

The output of Ban Ki-moon has probably a link to the report of the experts in chemical weapons UN - expected soon - which should confirm the use in the attack of 21 August in the suburbs Damascus.

"I think the report is damning, damning the use of chemical weapons even though I can not say it publicly until you have received," he has added during ' a meeting at the UN but attributed directly responsible for the massacre of the Syrian president. Ban Ki-moon was however "convinced that officials would be accountable when this is all over."

The UN inspectors, the report should be made public in the next few days - Monday, September 16 certainly - do not have the task of determining who is responsible for the chemical attack committed on that day, but only to check existence.

The Syrian regime denies any responsibility for the attack on 21 August. Russia has accused the rebels of using toxic gases so as to accuse the regime and provoke Western strikes against Damascus.
