Fuerzas dirigidas por EUA atacan objetivos químicos en Siria

April 13, 2018 - EUA, Gran Bretaña y Francia lanzaron ataques coordinados contra objetivos dentro de Siria en respuesta ante un supuesto ataque con armas químicas en Douma por parte de las fuerzas del presidente Bashar al-Assad

U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says airstrikes launched Friday evening were designed to inflict “maximum damage” to Syrian chemical weapons facilities.

More than 100 missiles fired from ships and manned aircraft struck three of Syria’s main chemical weapons facilities, Mattis and Dunford said.

The targets included the Centre D’Etudes et de Recherches Scientifiques an alleged chemical and biological
weapons research facility in the Damascus suburb of Jamraya as well as a chemical weapons storage facility near the city of Homs. A third target, also near Homs, contained both a chemical weapons equipment storage facility and a command and control centre.U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis and Gen.
