Cameron fears Iraq effect over Syria

April 27, 2013 00:26

BBC: UK PM David Cameron has expressed concern that international action in Syria may be being held back because of fears of a repeat of the Iraq war. It follows evidence from the US and the UK that Syrian government troops may have used chemical weapons.

US President Barack Obama has pledged a "vigorous investigation" after US intelligence found Syria may had used the nerve agent sarin. He said proof the weapons had been used on civilians would be "a game changer". Mr Obama had said previously that chemical weapons use would cross a "red line" and provoke a major American response.
