After discussions over last week’s chemical weapons attack in Syria , David Cameron and Barack Obama, agreed that the crisis had been taken to a new level and would require a ‘serious response’.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said,
“The Prime Minister and President Obama, are both gravely concerned by the attack that took place in Damascus on Wednesday and the increasing signs that this was a significant chemical weapons attack carried out by the Syrian regime against its own people. The UN Security Council has called for immediate access for the UN investigators on the ground in Damascus. The fact that President Assad has failed to co-operate with the UN suggests that the regime has something to hide.”
“They reiterated that significant use of chemical weapons would merit a serious response from the international community and both have tasked officials to examine al the options. They agreed that it is vital that the world upholds the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons and deters further outrages.”
