PARIS (AFP) – French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius insisted Monday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad “commit himself without delay” to the elimination of his country’s chemical weapons arsenal.

Fabius also demanded that those behind the alleged August 21 chemical attack that killed hundreds outside Damascus be tried by the International Criminal Court.
