Share Via Email   |  A+A A- By Associated Press UNITED NATIONS: Syria and close ally Russia clashed with the US and other nations Tuesday over a Western initiative to suspend Syria s voting rights in the global chemical weapons watchdog for failing to provide details of three chemical attacks in 2017 that investigators blamed on President Bashar Assad s government. The confrontation in the UN Security Council foreshadowed a showdown when the 193 member states of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons meet in The Hague, Netherlands, in April to consider a French-drafted measure, on behalf of 46 countries, to suspend Syria s rights and privileges in the body.
