U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis has said that a poison gas attack in Syria was a “heinous act” before a meeting at the Pentagon with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-sisi.
Western countries, including the United States, blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s armed forces for the worst poison gas attack in Syria for more than four years, which choked scores of people to death in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in a rebel-held area on Tuesday.
The U.S. government believes the chemical agent sarin was used in the attack.
