A "definitive" United Nations report on the use of chemical weapons in Syria confirms that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons to kill over 1,000 Syrians on Aug. 21, Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday.


"The U.N. report confirms unequivocally that chemical weapons...were used in Syria," Kerry said.

"And despite the regime's best efforts" to destroy the evidence, he added, U.N. investigators "returned with several crucial details that confirm that the Assad regime is guilty of carrying out that attack, even though that was not the mandate of the U.N. report."
