Air Attack On Syria

operations which are a
mock of the peaceful
coexistence principles."

Venezuelan stance to
"support the initiatives
of the Syrian government
and its President Bashar
al-Assad to seek justice
within the framework of
international law due to
this barbaric act of the
U.S. government."

reportedly launched an
attack on a building in
Al-Sukkariah village in
