UN report: Assad responsible for April gas attack

A new UN report finds that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's regime was responsible for the sarin gas attack in Khan Sheikhun, a rebel-held town in the northwestern Syrian Idlib province this past April.

"The panel is confident that the Syrian Arab Republic is responsible for the release of sarin at Khan Sheikhun on 4 April 2017," states the report, seen by AFP on Thursday.
