Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ says autopsies of Syrian gas attack victims hospitalized in Turkey confirmed use of chemical weapons

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ has said that autopsies of Syrian gas attack victims hospitalized in Turkey in the aftermath of the attack had confirmed that chemical weapons were used in the deadly airstrike on town of Khan Shaykhun, Idlib in northern Syria.

Thirty-two victims of Tuesday's attack have been brought to Turkey and three have subsequently died.

The airstrike targeted Khan Shaykun on Tuesday, killing some 100 civilians, including scores of children, and injuring hundreds, drawing wide condemnation from world leaders who accused the Assad regime of carrying out the deadly gas attack.
