The military said fighter jets bombed the al-Kibar facility in Deir al-Zour province, 450km (280 miles) north-east of Damascus, as it neared completion.

Good on 'em, hope they do it again. Assad continues to use chemical weapons on his own people, heaven help them if he had nuclear weapons, or waste, or used fuel rods to drop on them, probably wouldn't think twice about doing it. |
