http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-middle-east-22773268<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Foreign minister Laurent Fabius says laboratory tests have confirmed that the agent has been used several times, in a limited way. He didn’t say who might have used it.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Sareta Ashraph, member of the Syrian COI:<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest report of the independent international Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic is out. It covers the period 15 January to 15 May 2013 with findings are based on 430 interviews and other collected evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Commission documents for the first time the systematic imposition of sieges, the use of chemical agents and forcible displacement. War crimes, crimes against humanity and gross human rights violations continue apace.<\/span><\/p>\n
