LONDON (AA) - Britain said it could intervene in Syria without UN support, while the government prioritized the UN chemical report before any intervention.
According to British government's legal evaluation, even if Russia and China vetoed the decision, Britain's intervention on "humanitarian basis" could be regarded as legitimate.
British intelligence told Premier David Cameron that it was Syrian regime most probably responsible of the chemical attack, said sources.
Meanwhile, House of Commons started to discuss a possible intervention in Syria on Thursday.
At the end of the session, the government's proposal envisaging "military intervention in principle" will be voted.
However, the Labor Party is expected to vote against an action on Syria on the accounts that UN report had to be revealed first.
The second voting is scheduled for the next week to discuss the government's assuming the right to exercise political authority for intervention.
