US calls Mehlis report 'deeply disturbing'

The US has demanded that the UN Security Council take urgent action to punish Syria after the 'deeply disturbing' Mehlis report.

They're expected to call for sanctions. Condoleezza Rice said the UN should "seriously consider how it demands accountability." While Bush said "today, a serious report came out that requires the world to look at it very carefully and respond accordingly."

Mehlis will brief the Security Council on Tuesday.
