EU ministers 'supportive' of Syria air strikes
By EUobserver
"The Council is supportive of all efforts aimed at the prevention of the use of chemical weapons," EU foreign ministers said jointly in Luxembourg Monday after France, the UK, and the US bombed Syrian military facilities on Saturday. The "targeted" strikes had "the sole objective to prevent further use of chemical weapons ... by the Syrian regime to kill its own people," they said, blaming Syria for a recent massacre.
