US threatens further military action in Syria if necessary

UNITED NATIONS: The United States on Friday threatened to take further military action in Syria following its missile strikes on an air base in the war-wracked country in retaliation for a suspected chemical attack.

"The United States took a very measured step last night," US Ambassador Nikki Haley told the UN Security Council.

"We are prepared to do more, but we hope it will not be necessary." (APP)
