Syria’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Monday that Syria would not use chemical weapons against its own people. From Reuters:

“In response to the statements of the American secretary of state, who warned Syria against using chemical weapons, Syria has stressed repeatedly that it will not use these types of weapons, if they were available, under any circumstances against its people,” the statement said.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday again warned Syria that the U.S. would not accept the country’s use of chemical weapons.
