UN says Syria regime bombed Damascus water source, committed ‘war crime’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGENEVA — The Syrian government intentionally bombed the Ain al-Fijeh spring in December, leaving more than five million people in Damascus without access to water, a UN probe says Tuesday.
“The information examined by the Commission confirms that the bombing of (the Ain al-Fijeh) spring was carried out by the Syrian Air Force,” the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria says in a report, adding the attack constituted a “war crime.”
The report meanwhile dismisses regime allegations that rebels had contaminated the water.
