And a guilty verdict for a band who attacked a crowd of worshipers outside a London Mosque. United states is accuse the Syrian Government of continuing to use chemical weapons against its people and of seeking new ways to deliver them follows a suspected chlorine gas attack near damascus on thursday which is injured at least three people well the White Helmets volunteer rescue group has been posting pictures of the alleged gas attack on twitter under the hash tag duma suffocating in jordan as the latest from washington d. C. The civil war in syria has not been at the top of the news agenda here in washington for at least several weeks but on thursday the trumpet ministration made known a couple of serious concerns about the conduct of the war on the part of the government of president Bashar Al Assad first reporters were told in a briefing off camera that they do believe that the Syrian Government still has a chemical weapons arsenal and did not come clean about the extent of their chemical weapons holdings back during the Obama Administration when they gave up their weapons in order to not face any sort of u. S. Military action for targeting people with chemical weapons during the Syrian Civil War then here at the state Department New allegations about the use of a weapon that technically isnt a weapon but still has very dangerous effects when used against people we are watching very carefully and the United States is an extremely concerned about yet another report of the use of chlorine gas by syria the Syrian Regime to terrorize innocent civilians in the east good of syria outside of damascus if confirmed the attack is the third reported instance in the past thirty days in east ghouta we take the allegations of chemical weapons use very seriously and are working with our partners on the ground to investigate the reports so beyond raising Public Awareness about the security situation inside syria the trumpet ministration is trying to see if they can somehow come up with a new way of verifying that the Syrian Government still does possess chemical weapons there had been an organization known as the joint investigative mechanism which should have been renewed according to the u. S. At the end of december so that it could continue its work trying to clarify what syria is doing and what its not doing in terms of using chemical weapons russia which is serious close down. Took action and said no we dont want to reauthorize this body so now u. S. Officials are trying to figure out if theres a new way of standing up a group that can try to not only gather the evidence of what syria is doing against its own people but use that evidence as a foundation for possibly lobbying potential sanctions against the Assad Government but Charles Duelfer was the chief u. S. Weapons inspector in iraq in two thousand and three he says it seems little can be done to determine president assads use of chemical weapons. The United Nations had an investigation which was continuing on after that early spring attack and they identified syria as one of the agents and they identified the government as being the person responsible for however that the organization has since ended in the russians have vetoed the continued operation about or so its a difficult position you know in from pasha role thoughts perspective i mean hes going to be attentive to whats going on in north korea and also whats going on in the lawn he will have noticed that Saddam Hussein was removed from power after he got rid of his weapons of mass destruction he will have noticed the cut off he is removed from power after he got rid of his weapons of mass destruction so the the dynamic is extremely dangerous right now even if youre most successful in getting rid of the weapons has the United Nations inspectors were trying to do you cant erase peoples memories that you cant you know cause the bottom is to be taken by the people involved and so these engineers and scientists have been continuing apparently to develop the you know the the munitions of this the artillery shells or the rockets that deliver the chemical agent so you know that is apparently what the United States is claiming they are continuing to pursue presumably with the objective of making it harder to attribute the origin of these of these weapons to the to the regime itself you know as as the you know the syrians have been trying to make the case that well you dont know that we did it it could have been isis the russians have also made that case so the ability to diffuse responsibility maybe their objective the Turkish Foreign minister has spoken to al jazeera about turkeys cross border offensive in Northern Syria an operation was launched nearly two weeks ago in a free to target Syrian Kurdish waikiki militia which the turkish government considers terrorists medlicott a suit says his country has no interest and the nixing parts of syria.
