DAMASCUS, July 3-- Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said Monday that his government would not be surprised if the U.S. carried out a new attack on Syria, as "the crazy can do anything." Mekdad's remarks came against the backdrop of a new escalation in the Syrian chemical file, with Washington alleging that the Syrian government is preparing for a new chemical attack. On Monday, the White House said the United States had identified the Syrian government's potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack, warning of "a heavy price" if such attacks were conducted. |
