US official says Syria attack a ‘war crime’ if proven true

The United States says if a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria is what it appears to be, it is “clearly a war crime.”

That’s according to a senior US State Department official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.

The official says both the United States and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons are currently gathering information about the attack.
