UK PM May says British forces conduct targeted strike against Syria
LONDON, April 14 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Saturday she had authorised British forces to conduct precision strikes against Syria to degrade its chemical weapons capability.
"This is not about intervening in a civil war. It is not about regime change," May said in a statement. "It is about a limited and targeted strike that does not further escalate tensions in the region and that does everything possible to prevent civilian casualties."
The strike were conducted with the United States and France. (Reporting by Michael Holden; Editing by Sandra Maler)
