News Alert: U.S. conducts military strike against Syrian government targets in response to suspected chemical attack in Damascus suburb

The Pentagon's strike against Syrian government targets was just the second direct American assault on the government of President Bashar al-Assad since the country's civil war began seven years ago. The strike follows an apparent chemical attack in the town of Douma, near Damascus, that killed dozens of people last weekend. The attack has heightened tensions with Russia, which the United States says has allowed the Syrian government to continue using banned munitions. Syria agreed to end its chemical weapons program after a chemical attack in 2013.
