CAIRO -- The Arab foreign ministers hold the Syrian government responsible for all the chemical attacks in the Syrian capital of Damascus, and asked for referring the perpetrators to international trials, Xinhua reported from the Arab League(AL) headquarters in Cairo.

In the AL resolution, the foreign ministers strongly condemned and denounced the "heinous crime" committed by using the chemical weapons banned internationally against unarmed civilians, in defiance of the international norms.

"All the perpetrators should face fair international trials," the resolution added.

The foreign ministers called on the UN and the international society to bear its responsibility and take decisive and deterrent measures against the Syrian government for using chemical weapons against the civilians.
