BRITISH and US military planners are drawing up potential targets for missile strikes on Syria amid growing certainty that the Assad regime was behind chemical weapons attacks which killed hundreds of civilians last week.
David Cameron and Barack Obama discussed “a serious response” including military action in a 40-minute phone call last night, according to Downing Street.
While there has been no decision on whether to go ahead with a strike, staff in London and Washington are compiling a list of targets, among a range of options.
Last week’s chemical attack by President Bashar al-Assad, and his failure to allow UN weapons inspectors to take samples from victims of the strikes, has forced Obama and Cameron to look at “all the options”, Downing Street said.
