Han förlorade sina barn: USA:s attack räcker inte

On 4 April 2017, the town of Khan Shaykhun in the Idlib Governorate of Syria, was struck by a heavy airstrike followed by massive civilian chemical poisoning. The release of the toxic gas, likely sarin, killed at least 74 people and injured more than 557, according to the Idlib health authority. If confirmed, the attack would become the deadliest use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war since the Ghouta chemical attack in 2013. At the time of the attack the town was under the control of Tahrir al-Sham, formerly known as the al-Nusra Front. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, as well as the UK Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, blamed the attack on the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad, while the Russian and Syrian governments said it was caused by the Syrian Air Force's destruction of a nearby rebel-operated chemical weapons warehouse. In response, the United States launched 59 cruise missiles at Shayrat Air Base, which U.S. intelligence believed was the source of the attack. On 8 April, the town was attacked again by unknown aircraft, this time using conventional bombs, resulting in one death.
