France said June 4 it has confirmed that the nerve gas sarin was used multiple times in Syria, including at least once by the regime. It was the most specific claim by any Western power about chemical weapons attacks in the 27-month-old conflict. Britain later said that tests it conducted on samples taken from Syria also were positive for sarin.
The findings, based on samples taken from Syria, came after a U.N. team said it had "reasonable grounds" to suspect small-scale use of toxic chemicals in at least four attacks. (AP)
