[QUOTE="Spata, post: 2278982, member: 1455"] [B][SIZE=4]U.N. five permanent members to meet on Syria Thursday[/SIZE][/B] UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The five permanent U.N. Security Council members will meet again on Thursday to discuss an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria last week as Western powers consider possible military action against the Syrian government, U.N. diplomats said. The meeting will take place at 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT), the diplomats said on condition of anonymity. One envoy said the Russians had requested the meeting. Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States held an inconclusive meeting on Wednesday on a draft Security Council resolution that would authorize "all necessary force" in response to the alleged gas attack. The five permanent members have veto powers on the Security Council. Russia, Syria's main arms supplier, as well as China, have already vetoed three resolutions condemning Assad. Russia has made clear it opposes any military action in Syria and suggested the rebels may have launched last week's attack that killed hundreds of people in suburbs east of Damascus. Syria has also blamed the rebels and urged Ban to investigate reports of rebel gas attacks.
