UK claims to have evidence Assad may use chemical weapons
The UK has joined the US in claiming Syria’s government may soon use chemical weapons on its own people. The Syrian government has warned of the potential danger of these weapons falling into the hands of “terrorist groups.”
Following the UK’s claims, Damascus declared it would never use chemical weapons against Syrians.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague has warned that President Bashar Assad may use his stockpiles of chemical weapons against the country’s rebel forces.
“We are extremely concerned about the stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and we are also concerned about evidence during the last couple of weeks that the regime could use them,” Hague told reporters on the sidelines of a regional security conference in Manama, Bahrain.
Hague warned that there were “dangerous scenarios” where the weapons could fall into “the hands of other people.”
The foreign secretary was apparently referring to rebel forces within Syria. The Assad government shares Hague’s concerns – Al Arabiya reported late Saturday that Damascus warned that rebel “terrorist groups” may resort to using chemical weapons.
The statement came a few hours after Syria reiterated to the UN that it would not use chemical weapons against its own people.
