LOS ANGELES, Apr 15 (Xinhua): Hundreds of people held an emergency protest Saturday evening in downtown Los Angeles in response to the US-led airstrikes on Syria the night before.

Waving a huge Syrian national flag and banners saying "No US war on Syria," "US out of the Middle East" and "Money for people's need, NO war," protesters massed at a square at 5:30 pm (Sunday) and marched around streets nearby afterward.

The demonstrators called on Washington and its allies not to launch any more missile attacks, condemning the decision of the Trump administration to bomb Syria in response to an alleged sarin gas attack incident as "an unbelievable mistake."

They said international inspectors should be given enough time to check the suspected incident before the US president gave an order to start military attacks.
