The head of NATO on Tuesday joined the President Obama and others in issuing a stern warning to the Syrian government to not deploy chemical weapons on its own people, the BBC reports

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime would be “completely unacceptable.” 

The Syrian government has repeatedly insisted that it does not have access to such weapons, and would not use them on its own people if it did.
