Britain is moving closer to a military intervention in Syria, with warplanes arriving in Cyprus.
Fighter jets and transporters have flown in to Britain’s Akrotiri airbase, located around 100 miles off the Syrian coast, after a chemical assault killed hundreds in eastern Damascus last Wednesday.
Prime Minister David Cameron will chair a meeting with the National Security Council tomorrow, and is considering recalling MPs to gain parliamentary consent for a military intervention.
Mr Cameron told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday that he believed “there was little doubt that this was an attack carried out by the Syrian regime,” after Mr Putin claimed that there was not enough evidence to draw conclusions.
