Foreign help ‘made massacre possible’
Damascus complains to UN about other states backing terror
SYRIA’S government blamed foreign supporters of extremist militants yesterday for Saturday’s massacre of nearly 300 civilians.
In letters to the UN secretary-general and the head of the security council, the Foreign Ministry charged that terrorist organisations still receive support from countries in the region and worldwide.
This is despite the adoption last month of security council resolution 2254, which outlaws funding to terrorists, as part of the peace process.
