Prime Minister David Cameron makes case for military action

Britain could launch strikes against the Syrian regime without the backing of the United Nations, according to its own legal advice.

But Prime Minister David Cameron believes there is "compelling" evidence from the intelligence services and from publicly available material, including the images and videos flooding the internet since last week purport to show ‘evidence’ of a chemical weapons attack perpetrated by the Assad regime.

US President Barack Obama has said he has not yet decided on a plan for retaliatory action against Syria. Other nations are also considering the next move.
