Ilhan Omar demands facts of white phosphorus use on Syrian Kurds by Turkey
Congresswoman calls on US Syria envoy to give full briefing of October incident in border town Ras al-Ayn
Four US congressional Democrats have written to Donald Trump’s Syria envoy asking him to spell out what information the US has about the alleged use of white phosphorus by Turkey against Syrian Kurdish civilians in October.
Ilhan Omar and three of her colleagues in the House of Representatives called on Jim Jeffrey to provide a full briefing – in private if necessary – into whether it believes the incident during the Turkish invasion two months ago amounts to a war crime.
