UN spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters the organisation was suspending its Syria missions indefinitely, amid fresh bloodshed in the war that has already claimed an estimated 41,000 lives since starting in March 2011.
The UN pullout coincided with the United States voicing concerns that Assad’s forces might be weighing the use of chemical weapons.
US media reports earlier said the Syrian military had been detected moving the weapons around, and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Monday their deployment would cross a “red line.”
“We are concerned that an increasingly beleaguered regime … may be considering the use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people,” White House spokesman Jay Carney added.
In televised remarks, a Syrian foreign ministry official said Syria would “never, under any circumstances, use chemical weapons against its own people, if such weapons exist.”
The latest developments at the United Nations came after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Turkey that the NATO deployment of Patriot missiles along its border with Syria could exacerbate tensions.
