Britain urges 'get-tough' measures against Syria
The US, France and Britain challenged the rest of the UN Security Council to adopt a very tough resolution against Syria that would threaten sanctions if Damascus fails to co-operate fully with a UN investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
The pressure on Syria is likely to intensify today when a report by the UN special envoy on Syria-Lebanon, Terje Roed-Larsen, on disarming Lebanese militias is released.
