NEW YORK (MarketWatch)
The U.N. envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said Wednesday that evidence from last week's attack that killed hundreds of people in the suburbs of Damascus points to the use of a chemical substance, according to the Associated Press
Brahimi emphasized that any military strike on the country must be approved by the U.N. Security Council
The Arab League accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons in the attack but stopped short of supporting a military strike, according to a report in The New York Times
