Hollande urges international response to Syria ‘war crime’

French President Francois Hollande calls for an international response to the suspected chemical attack that killed scores of civilians in Syria, calling it a “war crime.”

Hollande “reiterated his indignation over the use of chemical weapons in Syria and called for a reaction by the international community commensurate with this war crime,” the president’s office says in a statement.

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting later Wednesday on the attack, with Britain, France and the United States pushing a resolution demanding a swift investigation.
