Two prominent Catholic leaders in Syria have criticised the US missile strikes against their nation, wondering why they occurred before investigations into the origins of chemical attacks reported earlier this week.
President Donald Trump said Syrian President Bashar Assad "launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians" and "choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children."
"No child of God should ever suffer such horror," he said, announcing that he had ordered the strike against the air base from which he said the chemical weapons attack was launched.
