英國首相卡梅倫說，有越來越多的證據(jù)顯示，敘利亞政府對反政府力量使用了化學(xué)武器，證實了美國情報機構(gòu)一份報告的說法。
卡梅倫星期五說，這一事態(tài)非常令人不安。他還說，這種做法是戰(zhàn)爭罪行，應(yīng)該是國際社會的“底線”。
美國白宮星期四說，美國各情報機構(gòu)程度不同地相信，敘利亞政府對試圖推翻阿薩德總統(tǒng)的反政府力量小規(guī)模使用了沙林毒氣。
不過，白宮還說，目前的證據(jù)還不足以改變美國在這個問題上的`決策。
一些美國議員加大呼吁力度，要求美國軍事干預(yù)敘利亞沖突。自從2011年3月敘利亞沖突開始以來，已經(jīng)有至少7萬人喪生。
另一方面，星期五，在首都大馬士革爆發(fā)激烈戰(zhàn)斗。敘利亞人權(quán)了望臺說，在大馬士革北部的巴爾澤社區(qū)，反政府力量和政府軍之間在星期五發(fā)生激烈沖突。
這個總部設(shè)在英國的人權(quán)團體還說，反政府力量和政府軍在首都以東的焦巴爾地區(qū)和大馬士革南部的一些地區(qū)也進行戰(zhàn)斗。敘利亞人權(quán)了望臺從一個活動人士網(wǎng)絡(luò)和前線戰(zhàn)斗人員那里獲得了消息。這個組織說，在星期四的戰(zhàn)斗中至少有130人死亡。
British Prime Minister David Cameron says there is growing evidence the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against rebels, backing up a report by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Prime Minister Cameron on Friday called the development "very disturbing," adding that it would amount to a war crime and should represent a "red line" for the international community.
On Thursday, the White House said U.S. spy agencies believe with "varying degrees of confidence" the Syrian government has used sarin gas on a small scale against rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.
But the disclosure said the evidence was not conclusive enough to change U.S. decision-making on the issue.
Some U.S. lawmakers have been more vocal in calling for the U.S. to intervene militarily in the conflict, which has killed at least 70,000 people since it began in March 2011.
Meanwhile, fighting raged on in the capital, Damascus, on Friday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says "fierce clashes" between rebels and government troops broke out in the Barzeh neighborhood in north Damascus.
The Britain-based group also said rebels and troops fought in Jobar district east of the capital, as well as parts of southern Damascus. The group, which gets its information from a network of activists and fighters on the ground, said at least 130 people died from the fighting on Thursday.
