France said Tuesday it has confirmed that the nerve gas sarin was
used "multiple times and in a localized way" in Syria, including at
least once by the regime. It was the most specific claim by any Western
power about chemical weapons attacks in the 27-month-old conflict.
Britain later said that tests it conducted on samples taken from Syria also were positive for sarin.
The
back-to-back announcements left many questions unanswered, highlighting
the difficulties of confirming from a distance whether combatants in
Syria have crossed the "red line" set by President Barack Obama. The
regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad has refused to allow U.N.
investigators into the country.
