MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia may approve a military operation in Syria if evidence shows that Damascus carried out chemical weapons attacks, but only if the operation is conducted with U.N. approval.

In an interview with AP and Russia's First Channel, posted on the Kremlin website on Wednesday, Putin also said the video of an August 21 chemical weapons attack outside of Damascus could have been fabricated by groups "connected with al Qaeda".

In the interview conducted on Tuesday and released the day before G20 leaders begin a two-day summit in St Petersburg, Putin also said Russia would continue to fulfill its arms contracts with Syria.

When asked whether Russia would agree to military action if Damascus were proven to have carried out a chemical weapons attack, he answered: "I do not rule it out."

"According to the current international law, only the United Nations Security Council can sanction the use of force against a sovereign state. Any other approaches, means, to justify the use of force against an independent and sovereign state, is inadmissible," he said.

NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Monday he is "personally convinced" that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons near Damascus last month.

"Personally, I am not only convinced that a chemical attack has taken place ... I am also convinced that the Syrian regime is responsible," Rasmussen said when asked if he had seen intelligence to prove Assad was behind the suspected attack which left hundreds dead.

"In general, we have concrete information," he said.

Rasmussen stressed repeatedly that the international community could not allow the use of chemical weapons go by unchallenged but he was guarded about any military response.

"The aim of the response should be to send a very clear message ... that you cannot do that without a very firm international reaction," he told a regular news conference.

Any military action, however, "would be very short, sharp, tailored," Rasmussen said, adding: "I don't see a long-term, sustainable military solution in Syria ... we need a political process."

It would be up to NATO's 28 members, led by the United States, to decide what specific military response they might make, he said.

"I don't envisage any further NATO role" beyond providing a forum for consultations and backing up member Turkey which shares a tense border with Syria, he added.

Earlier this year, NATO deployed Patriot anti-missile batteries supplied by the United States, Germany and the Netherlands to help defend Turkey after border villages were hit by fire from inside Syria.

The Patriot missiles have a deterrent effect, Rasmussen said when asked about a possible change in NATO's stance if Syria were to retaliate against Turkey for a US strike.

"An attack on one ally is an attack on all," he said, recalling NATO's core rationale and mission.

"I can assure you we have all plans in place for an effective defence of Turkey ... I don't see any need for extra contingency planning."

Western powers face considerable public reluctance to get involved in another Middle East conflict and US President Barack Obama is trying to drum up Congressional backing for his plans to punish Assad.

Britain has backed out of any military commitment after a parliamentary vote last week blocked efforts by Prime Minister David Cameron to join US forces in military action, leaving France the only major European country still committed to a strike.

Obiagu1: Facts:
1. Communication was made between both Lagos and Anambra State governments.
2. Number of persons involved were 14.
3. No date was set for the repatriation or arrangement concluded.
4. Over 70 persons were dumped at bridgehead, Onitsha, their alleged family homes.
5. They were dumped in the middle of the night with no one there to receive them.
6. A crime was committed by Lagos State government against the citizens of Nigeria.

If you support the deportation of persons in the middle of the night many of whom are not from Anambra State, leaving them to their own fate, then I put a curse on you. Let the government of whichever country you are living in arrest, maltreat, torture and send you back to Nigeria for no reason. Amen.
