LONDON \u00a0– British ministers planned to gather on Thursday to discuss whether to join the United States and France in a possible military attack on Syria that threatens to bring Western and Russian forces into direct confrontation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Prime Minister Theresa May recalled the ministers from their Easter holiday for a special cabinet meeting on how to respond to what she has cast as a barbaric poison gas attack by Syrian government forces on civilians in the formerly rebel-held town of Douma just east of the capital Damascus.<\/p>\n

Russia, the Syrian government\u2019s most important ally in its seven-year-old war with rebels, said it had deployed military police in Douma on Thursday after the town was taken over by government forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the guarantors of law and order in the town,\u201d the RIA news agency quoted Russia\u2019s defence ministry as saying.<\/p>\n

RELATED COVERAGE<\/h4>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Russia on Wednesday that missiles \u201cwill be coming\u201d in response to the April 7 gas attack, alleged to have killed dozens of people, and lambasted Moscow for standing by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Syria\u2019s military has repositioned some air assets to avoid fallout from possible missile strikes, U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Syria\u2019s attempt to shelter aircraft, perhaps by locating them alongside Russian military hardware that Washington might be reluctant to hit, could limit damage that the United States and its allies might be able to inflict on Assad\u2019s military.<\/p>\n

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor, also said pro-Syrian government forces were emptying main airports and military air bases.<\/p>\n

MATTIS CAUTIOUS<\/h3>\n

U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, striking a cautious tone after Trump\u2019s threat of missile strikes, said on Wednesday the United States was assessing intelligence about the suspected toxic gas attack.<\/p>\n

Asked if he had seen enough evidence to blame the Syrian president, Mattis said: \u201cWe\u2019re still working on this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Syria and Russia have said reports of the attack were fabricated by rebels and rescue workers in Douma and have accused the United States of seeking to use it as a pretext to attack the government.<\/p>\n

In Moscow, the head of a Russian parliamentary defence committee, Vladimir Shamanov, said Russia was in direct contact with the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff about the situation.<\/p>\n

The Russian military said it had observed movements of U.S. Navy forces in the Gulf. Any U.S. strike would probably involve the navy, given the risk to aircraft from Russian and Syrian air defences. A U.S. guided-missile destroyer, the USS Donald Cook, is in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

Moscow\u2019s ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, warned on Wednesday that any U.S. missiles fired at Syria would be shot down and the launch sites targeted.<\/p>\n

May has ordered British submarines to move within missile range of Syria in readiness for strikes against the Syrian military that could begin as early as Thursday night, London\u2019s Daily Telegraph newspaper said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The BBC reported that May was ready to give the go-ahead for Britain to take part in military action. She would not seek approval from parliament, the BBC said, despite calls from the opposition Labour Party for parliament to be given a say.<\/p>\n

Parliament voted down British military action against Assad\u2019s government in 2013 in an embarrassment for May\u2019s predecessor, David Cameron. That then deterred the U.S. administration of Barack Obama from similar action.<\/div>\n
