Syria Invites U.N. Chemical-Weapons Watchdog to Inspect Attack Site

Assad regime said it would work with investigators during “fact-finding mission.”

On Tuesday, Syrian officials said they invited the U.N.’s chemical-weapons watchdog to conduct a “fact-finding mission” in Douma—the rebel-held site where a Saturday attack killed more than 40 people. The Associated Press reports Bashar al-Assad’s foreign ministry says it will aid the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the investigation of the attack, which the Syrian government has denied conducting, and will work with “full transparency and rely on credible and tangible evidence.” Russia also said Tuesday that it would submit a United Nations resolution proposing OPCW investigators visit the site. President Trump said Monday the U.S. would respond to the “heinous” attack in the next “24 to 48 hours” and claimed that no action is “off the table.”
