France condemns Syria refugee camp attack, calls for investigation

France has condemned air strikes targeting a refugee camp in Syria and demanded an investigation be conducted into what it said was a "revolting and unacceptable act that could amount to a war crime or crime against humanity", the Daily Mail reported.

Thursday's air strikes hit Syrians uprooted by war living in a camp near the Turkish border, a monitoring group said.

"This new attack, which deliberately targeted civilians, killed some 30 people, including women and children," France's foreign ministry spokesman said. "Those who are responsible will have to be brought to justice."

Next Monday France will host a meeting of ministers from countries that support Syrian opposition groups, together with Syrian opposition figure Riad Hijab, to seek ways to break the political and military deadlock in the country.
