France's foreign minister said on Wednesday that the chemical analysis of samples taken from a deadly sarin gas attack in Syria earlier this month "bears the signature" of President Bashar Assad's government and shows it was responsible for the deadly assault. According to Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, France came to this conclusion after comparing samples from a sarin attack in Syria from 2013 that matched. "This method bears the signature of the regime and that is what allows us to establish its responsibility in this attack." Environmental samples, the French ministry said, show the weapons were made "according to the same production process than the one used in the sarin attack perpetrated by the Syrian regime in Sarabeq." It's thought that Assad's government still has a stockpile hundreds of ton of chemical weapons despite saying it had handed over all of them.
