U.S. Demands Assad, Russia, Iran Be Held to Account for Syrian Atrocities
(VOA News) Jeff Seldin - The U.S. is demanding the world hold Syria's government, Russia and Iran responsible for "some of the worst atrocities known to man," U.S. national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Thursday at an event at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington marking the 7th anniversary of the Syrian conflict. "The Assad regime has killed indiscriminately, tortured, starved, raped and used chemical weapons on its own people. It has attacked hospitals and schools, and countless Syrians have been arrested, abducted or simply disappeared....Assad should not have impunity from his crimes and neither should his sponsors."
