Don’t attack Syria is the demand for hundreds of pilgrims that had arrived in St Peter’s Square in the Vatican to join Pope Francis in prayer for Syria. The pope has invited people of all faiths to join a day of fasting and prayer to call for an end to the conflict in Syria on Saturday.
He denounced what he called “atrocious acts” in Syria following a suspected chemical weapons attack and called on the international community to do more to help find a solution to the two-and-a-half year conflict.
