DHAKA: NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Monday he had seen evidence about an August 21 attack in Syria that had convinced him that the Syrian authorities were responsible for a chemical weapons strike.

‘I have been presented with concrete information and, without going into details, I can tell you that personally I am convinced, not only that a chemical attack has taken place, but I am also convinced that the Syrian regime is responsible,’ he told a news conference.

The Jerusalem Post publishes this report.
