A United Nations report released Monday confirmed that sarin gas were used in an August 21 attack in Syria Smantha Power, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said that the facts of the report underscore that only the Assad regime could have carried out the sarin attack.
"The technical details of the UN report make clear that only the regime could have carried out this large-scale chemical weapons attack," Power said.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon was quick to made it clear that no one can determine who used the sarin gas from their report. "It was the team’s job to determine whether and to what extent chemical weapons were used – not who used them," he said. "It is for others to decide whether to pursue this matter further to determine responsibility, to portray our report as proof the Syrian Army used the gas is a gross misrepresentation".
