PARIS (Reuters) - France criticised Russia on Thursday for calling into question an international inquiry into who is to blame for chemical weapons attacks in Syria.

Russia has questioned the work and future of the joint inquiry by the U.N. and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and said it would decide whether to support extending the mandate after investigators submit their next report.
