US have carried out a missile attack
against an air base in Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack
on a rebel-held town.
The Pentagon said 59 Tomahawk cruise
missiles were fired at 01:40 GMT from destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean.
In a televised address, President
Donald Trump said the base was the launch point for the chemical attack and he
called on all civilised nations to help end the conflict in Syria.
Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate
in Florida, Trump branded Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a dictator who had launched
a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians.
