Damascus to find out whether U.S. did inform Russia of strike preparations - Syrian ambassador

MOSCOW. April 7 (Interfax) - The Syrian authorities are determined to ask Russia and find out whether it had really been warned by the United States in advance about preparations for a missile strike upon a Syrian airfield, Syrian Ambassador to Russia Riad Haddad said.

"Russia has been asked this question. But Mr. Peskov has said already on the Kremlin's behalf that this is an act of aggression against the country's sovereignty," Haddad told Interfax on Friday.
