Badhon : Nine countries have demanded an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting on Monday after an alleged chemical attack on Syria’s rebel-held city of Douma, diplomatic sources said on Sunday, AFP reported.
France initiated the move, and the request was also signed by the United States, Britain, Kuwait, Sweden, Poland, Peru, the Netherlands and Ivory Coast, the sources said.
The meeting is called for on Monday.
