Hollande accuses Assad of chemical weapons ‘massacre’
French President Francois Hollande accuses Syrian leader Bashar Assad of bearing responsibility for a “massacre” after a suspected chemical attack killed at least 58 people in a rebel-held town in Syria.
“Once again the Syrian regime will deny the evidence of its responsibility for this massacre,” Hollande says.
“Those who support this regime can once again reflect on the enormity of their political, strategic and moral responsibility,” Hollande adds.
Earlier today, France called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council over the attack.
