Three European states have sought information on Syria war crimes: U.N.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Three European countries have sought cooperation and information on alleged war crimes committed in Syria's war for use in domestic court cases, a United Nations human rights investigator said on Tuesday. Karen Koning AbuZayd, an American member of the U.N. commission of inquiry, told a news conference that the Geneva-based investigators had "already responded to some requests using our database" but gave no specifics. "Three governments have asked so far," she later told reporters. (Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Catherine Evans)
