UN Security Council meets on Syria strikes

United Nations (United States) (AFP) – The UN Security Council on Saturday opened a meeting at Russia’s request to discuss military strikes carried out by the United States, France and Britain on Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack.

Russia circulated a draft resolution calling for condemnation of the military action, but Britain’s ambassador said the strikes were “both right and legal” to alleviate humanitarian suffering in Syria.
