Hagel: US looking at intelligence in Syria attack

[August 26, 2013]  JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the Obama administration is still analyzing intelligence on Syria's purported use of chemical weapons and "will get the facts" before acting.

Hagel told reporters after meeting Monday with his Indonesian counterpart that "if there is any action taken" by the U.S. it will be in concert with international partners.

He says the U.S. is "looking at all options."

He is declining to discuss any option.
