The United States said on Sunday it did not rule out returning to the United Nations security council to secure a Syria resolution once UN inspectors complete a report on a chemical weapons attack, but also indicated that Arab countries were seeking a tough response.

Speaking at a news conference in Paris after meeting key Arab foreign ministers, secretary of state John Kerry said they were leaning towards supporting a G20 statement – already signed by 12 countries – that called for a strong international response following a 21 August chemical attack in Syria. Washington and Paris say forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad were behind the attack, in which more than 1,400 people are estimated to have been killed, and that he should be deterred from using such weapons again.
