A gas attack on "helpless
civilians" near Idlib in Syria that killed 58 people including
11 children and reports of air strikes on the hospitals treating
the wounded are "shocking", Italian Foreign Minister Angelino
Alfano said Tuesday.
He said "Italy will be in the front line at the UN Security
Council in the urgent meeting, requested by France and Britain,
and tomorrow at the Brussels Conference on Syria, in condemning
the use of weapons of mass destruction against the Syrian
population and in forcefully asking that those responsible for
this crime against humanity be identified".
Alfano said "the international community has a duty to put an
end to the profound suffering of the Syrian people and to
restore peace, hope and a future to that great country".
