Ban Ki-moon makes it clear to investigate possible use of chemical weapons in Syria

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announces Thursday, March 21, 2013, that the United Nations will investigate the possible use of chemical weapons in Syria, at United Nations headquarters. The U.N. chief indicated that the investigation would be broader than the Syrian government’s request for an independent probe of an alleged chemical weapons attack on Tuesday, saying he was aware of other allegations and hoped the probe would help secure Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile. <AP Photo/NEWSis/Mark Garten>
