Russia 'bears responsibility' for Syria chemical attacks: Tillerson

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday said Russia bore responsibility for recent chemical attacks by the Syrian government, which Moscow backs in the country's civil war. "Only yesterday more than 20 civilians, most of them children, were victims of an apparent chlorine gas attack," Tillerson said of the reported attack in Eastern Ghouta that left its victims struggling to breathe. "Whoever conducted the attacks, Russia ultimately bears responsibility for the victims in East Ghouta and countless other Syrians targeted with chemical weapons, since Russia became involved in Syria," he told reporters in Paris.
