UN: Syrian gov't used chemical weapons dozens of times

Syrian government forces have used chemical weapons more than two dozen times during that country’s civil war, including in April’s deadly attack on Khan Sheikhun, UN war crimes investigators have determined, according to a Reuters report published Wednesday.

A government warplane dropped sarin on the town in Idlib province, killing more than 80 civilians, the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria said, in the most conclusive findings to date from investigations into that chemical weapon attack.
