France Has Info Syria Using Chemical Weapons; Says They Are Deadly, Being Used Near Lebanon

France has information that Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime is still using chemical weapons, French President Francois Hollande said today (April 20, 2014), according to the Times of Israel website.

"We have a few elements of information but I do not have the proof," Hollande said in a radio interview after he was asked about reports that Assad was currently using chemical weapons.

"What I do know is what we have seen from this regime in the horrific methods it is capable of using and the rejection of any political transition," Hollande told the Europe 1 radio station.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told the same radio station there were "indications, which have yet to be verified, that there have been recent chemical attacks." He said they were "much less significant than those in Damascus a few months ago but very deadly," and had taken place in the northwestern region of Syria, near its border with Lebanon.
