Syria chemical weapons threat 'unacceptable'
Syria's threat to use chemical weapons against foreign intervention is "unacceptable", Foreign Secretary William Hague said.
Speaking to reporters at a European Union foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels, Hague said: "This is typical of the complete illusion of this regime, that they are the victims of external aggression.
"What is actually happening is their own people are rising up against a brutal police state ... and in any case it is unacceptable to say that they would use chemical weapons under any circumstances."
