Not sure what to make of this report, given its taint of UN blathering, but the report calls out Syria having used chemical weapons a few dozen times.



Syrian forces have used chemical weapons more than two dozen times during the country's civil war, including in April's deadly attack on Khan Sheikhoun, U.N. war crimes investigators said on Wednesday.


A government warplane dropped sarin on the town in Idlib province, killing more than 80 civilians, the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria said, in the most conclusive findings to date from investigations into chemical weapons attacks during the conflict. The Commission also said U.S. air strikes on a mosque in the village of Al-Jina in rural Aleppo in March that killed 38 people, including children, failed to take precautions in violation of international law.
I guess they took their cue from Trump to make sure that they could argue that there were violations by both sides. (Then again, there are a whole lotta sides in this mess, in Syria).
