France says strike on Syria possible by Wednesday

PARIS: French President, Francois Hollande, said on Friday that a military strike on Syria could come by Wednesday.

He was of the view that Britain's surprise rejection of armed intervention would not affect his government's stand.

In an interview to the Le Monde daily on Friday, Hollande said that France wanted firm action against the Damascus regime.




The French leader had earlier vowed to “punish” President Bashar al-Assad’s government for an alleged chemical weapons attack on August 21, which killed hundreds.

The president declared that the British Parliament’s withdrawal from the proposed action against Syria would not affect France’s resolve.

“Each country is free to choose whether to take part in such an operation or not. That holds true for Britain and France,” he said.

He ruled out strikes while inspectors from the United Nations were in Syria investigating the alleged chemical attack. They would leave on Saturday, according to UN Chief Ban ki-moon.

The French parliament is due to meet on Wednesday for an emergency Syria session.
