Spain wants use of force in Syria to be supported legally

MADRID, Aug 26 (KUNA) -- Spanish diplomatic sources said Monday that any use of force in Syria must be based by supported legal standings and expressed hope the Security Council would play a vital role on the international scene and in the crisis.
The Spanish news agency (EFE) quoted sources as saying that the Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo phoned various European foreign ministers from Italy, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom on the issue in order to review the latest developments in Syria.
The sources stressed the importance of the completion of the UN inspector mission's role in Syria, including a comprehensive report on last Wednesday's chemical attacks on a Damascus suburb, which it considered a "red line." The sources also expressed grave concern over the ongoing tension in Syria, adding that the situation was being monitored very closely. (end) hnd.mb KUNA 270109 Aug 13NNNN
