Germany condemns Syria gas attack, says evidence points to Assad

Germany on Monday condemned the use of chemical weapons in Douma, a rebel-held town in Syria's eastern Ghouta, and said the circumstances pointed to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad being responsible for the attack."The government condemns this new use of poison gas in the strongest terms," German government spokesman Steffen Seibert told a news conference."The regime's actions are abhorrent.""Those responsible for the use of poison gas ... must be held to account," he added.
