Interior Minister Valls said that France “cannot go it alone” on Syria and would wait for the US Congress’ decision. The government released an intelligence assessment blaming the Assad regime for the Aug. 21 attack in Damascus and describing the regime’s extensive chemical weapons arsenal. The leaked French intelligence report claims that the Assad regime has over 1,000 tons of such agents, including the extremely lethal nerve toxin VX.
