There is no evidence Syria government used sarinin

Tehran (KNA) - Defense Secretary James Mattis says the United States has no evidence to confirm reports that the Syrian government used the chemical nerve agent of sarin against its civilians.

Mattis made the announcement on Friday, saying that Washington was "concerned" about the use of sarin in Syria but could not confirm reports from NGOs and militant groups regarding the issue.

"We are even more concerned about the possibility of sarin use... I don't have the evidence, what I am saying is, that other groups on the ground … have said that sarin has been used, so we are looking for evidence," the Pentagon chief said.
