[QUOTE="LoveBeingAMuslimah, post: 71029476, member: 323708"] [COLOR=#808080][B]Syria's air force "purposely targeted" a spring outside Damascus in December, cutting off water supplies for 5.5 million people living in and around the city, the UN independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria said on Tuesday.[/B] The commission said it had found no evidence of deliberate contamination of the water supply or demolition by armed groups, as the Syrian government maintained at the time. The rebel groups - who were in control the springs of the Wadi Barada valley, northwest of Damascus since 2012 - had faced a major offensive by Syrian government forces and their allies, despite a ceasefire deal. The rebels withdrew at the end of January.[/COLOR] [URL='http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/syrian-air-force-purposely-targeted-water-supplies-wadi-barada-un-854561645'][SIZE=5]Syrian air force 'purposely' targeted water supplies in Wadi Barada: UN[/SIZE][/URL] [COLOR=#808080] [B]United Nations investigators said Wednesday [URL='http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/IICISyria/Pages/IndependentInternationalCommission.aspx']in a report[/URL] that found government forces had not only committed the [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/25/world/middleeast/from-paradise-to-hell-how-an-aid-convoy-in-syria-was-blown-apart.html']attack in September[/URL] but had done so deliberately, a war crime.[/B] [B]The attack, which killed 14 aid workers and stoked international outrage, was “meticulously planned” and “ruthlessly carried out,” the report said.[/B] It called the attack “one of the most egregious” of many war crimes that investigators said had been committed during the Syrian government’s five-month offensive to take full control of the northern city of Aleppo.[/COLOR] [SIZE=5][URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/world/middleeast/united-nations-war-crimes-syria.html?_r=0']U.N.
