U.S. Accuses Russia, Syria Of Tampering With Evidence

Description

The US accused Russia on Monday of blocking inspectors from reaching the site of a suspected poison gas attack in Syria. It said Russians or Syrians may have tampered with evidence on the ground. Moscow denied the charge and blamed delays on the U.S.-led missile strikes on Syria. Syria and Russia deny releasing poisonous gas in Douma this month. Relief organizations say dozens of men, women and children were killed. The UN's Nikki Haley says the US will announce economic sanctions for companies involved in the making of chemical weapons.
