UN Confirms Sarin Used in Syria

On Monday, Ban Ki-moon confirmed what had already become widely accepted fact, that sarin nerve gas had been used in Syria.

The UN's findings also found that it had been fired into Ghouta via rockets.

As expected, the UN did not suggest who had carried out the attacks.

However, they did note that whoever did perpetrate the attack waited for the perfect weather conditions, before doing so.

Western governments jumped on the sophistication of the attack as proof that the Syrian regime had carried it out.
