United Nations: The UN has said its chief chemical weapons inspector turned over his team's report on August's alleged poison gas attack in Syria to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said the report was transmitted on Sunday and the secretary-general will brief a closed session of the UN Security Council on its contents on Monday morning. He will also brief the 193-member General
Assembly later in the day.
The inspection team led by Swedish expert Ake Sellstrom was mandated to report on whether chemical weapons were used in the Aug 21 attack in the Damascus suburbs and, if so, which chemical agents were used not on who was responsible.
The secretary-general said Friday that he believes there will be "an overwhelming report" that chemical weapons were used in the attack.
