EU Reduces Syria Delegation over Security Fears
The European Union has decided to reduce its Syrian delegation because of security fears, the spokesman for the bloc's diplomatic chief said Monday, amid new fears chemical weapons could be used in the ongoing conflict.
"The EU delegation has decided to reduce activities in Damascus to a minimum level due to the current security conditions," spokesman Michael Mann said in a statement, after the United Nations announced it was indefinitely suspending operations in Syria and withdrawing non-essential staff.
