UN to mull Syria sanctions: Britain

BIRMINGHAM: The UN Security Council will consider imposing international sanctions on Syria following an investigation that cast suspicion on high-level Syrian involvement in the murder of a former Lebanese prime minister, Britain’s top diplomat said on Friday. Asked in a BBC interview if the council would set sanctions for Syria at a soon-to-be-held special session, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said, “We are going to consider that.” Straw, who is on a tour of Alabama with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, said the report showed Syria it had to stop interfering in Lebanon, its small neighbor. “They have to change and they have to change pretty radically,” Straw said. “And the international community has to take a stand.” reuters
