Washington The US has said that it suspects Syrian government forces of a chemical attack during an offensive in Idlib, the northwestern region dominated by jihadists, on Sunday.
A State Department spokeswoman said: “We continue to see signs the Assad regime may be renewing its use of chemical weapons, including an alleged chlorine attack . . . we are still gathering information but repeat our warning that if the regime uses chemical weapons [we] and our allies will respond quickly and appropriately.”
