A pair of lawmakers are calling for the Biden administration to sanction a group of Syrians believed to be responsible for a near decade-old massacre of civilians in the Damascus suburb of Tadamon. 

“Even as we struggle to cope with our own national tragedies, as co-chairs of the Friends of a Free, Stable, and Democratic Syria Caucus here in Congress, we write to call your attention to another horrific massacre that occurred thousands of miles away,” read the letter from Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) sent to President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
