UN Security Council to meet tomorrow on Syria gas attack

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss a suspected chemical attack in Syria that has left dozens dead, the US ambassador says.

Britain and France called for the meeting following reports of the strike on a rebel-held town in Idlib province earlier today.

US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley says council members have seen reports “of the terrible chemical weapons attack in Syria.”

Haley says the council will get a briefing at an open meeting at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) on Wednesday “and we are hoping to get as much information on the Syrian attack as we can.”
