UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad is to blame for a chemical attack on the opposition-held town of Khan Sheikhoun that killed dozens of people last April, according to a report sent to the United Nations Security Council on Thursday.

“The Syrian Arab Republic is responsible for the release of sarin at Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April 2017,” the report from the U.N. and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’ Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) said.

The attack prompted a U.S. missile strike against a Syrian air base which Washington said was used to launch the strike.

“Time and again, we see independent confirmation of chemical weapons use by the Assad regime,” Nikki Haley, the United States’ U.N. ambassador, said in a statement.

Putin loves him some evil fuckers. dang.

There have been UN reports on use of sarin for years at this point.

At least we have been backing the Kurds.
