UK Cabinet agrees ‘need for action’ in Syria

(UTV|COLOMBO) – The United Kingdom (UK) Cabinet Ministers have agreed “on the need to take action” in Syria to “deter the further use of chemical weapons”, Downing Street has said, the BBC reported.

Ministers at a cabinet meeting said it was “highly likely” the Assad regime was responsible for a suspected chemical attack.

They agreed that the use of chemical weapons must not “go unchallenged”.

But Transport Minister Jo Johnson later stressed: “There has been no decision to take military action at this point.”

No details of UK involvement in any military action in Syria were mentioned in the Downing Street statement.
