The fench govt.has said there are “indications” that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is still using chemical weapons against his own people despite vowing to dispose of his government’s stockpile in an agreement brokered by the U.S. and Russia last year.
French President Francois Hollande told Europe 1 Radio Sunday that his government had “a few elements of information” that Syrian government forces were behind chlorine gas attacks on at least three towns earlier this month, but also noted “I do not have the proof.”
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told the radio station that he had received ‘yet to be verified indications,’ that there have been recent chemical attacks.
The recent attacks are alleged to have taken place in the northwest of the country, near Syria’s border with Lebanon.
