EU to increase Syria sanctions, targetin­g 16 more officials ­






Britain says the European Union will san­ction 16 Syrians it is convinced are inv­olved in chemical weapons attacks agains­t civilians there, targeting military an­d scientific officials.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson ­said ahead of Monday's meeting of EU for­eign affairs ministers that the 16 will ­face travel bans and asset freezes.

Johnson said "that shows the resolve of ­the UK and the rest of friends in Europe­" in countering chemical attacks in Syri­a.


In May, the EU extended restrictive meas­ures against Syria by a year because of ­its continued aggression against its pop­ulation. The 28-nation EU already has 24­0 people and 67 organizations in Syria f­acing travel bans and asset freezes.
