U.N. moved to tears by video of Syrian chlorine attack
[ARA] Members of the United Nations...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... ' Security Council were moved to tears while watching a video that showed victims of a chlorine gas attack in Idlib province of northwestern Syria.
On 16 March, pro-Assad warplanes reportedly targeted Idlib with at least five barrel bombs containing chlorine gas, which caused suffocation cases among civilians. In the meantime, the Syrian regime denied its responsibility for Idlib's chlorine attack. The attack caused six casualties from one family. Three children, aged one, two and three, their parents and grandmother. Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the U.N., said that those responsible for the attack will be brought to justice, describing the U.N. meeting on Thursday as "emotional". "If there was a dry eye in the room I didn't see it," Power told news hounds. "The long arm of justice is taking more time than any of us would wish right now, but this documentary record will be used at some point in a court of law," she said. Posted by: Fred 2015-04-18 |
