Top UN Inspector: Assad Not Responsible For Chemical Weapons Attack

Fact checked
UN inspector says Assad did not use chemical weapons in Syria

A former director of UN weapons inspectors has said that the Syrian government is not responsible for the recent chemical weapons attack, and claims the attack is an attempt to topple Bashar Al-Assad.

Dozens of people were killed in the rebel-held town of Douma on Saturday, in an attack President Putin and others described as a ‘false flag’ perpetrated by the Al-Qaeda affiliated White Helmets group.

On Sunday night, two Israeli F-15 fighters targeted a Syrian military airbase in the Homs province, firing eight guided missiles at the airport, killing 14 soldiers.

Infowars.com reports: However, according to chemical weapons expert Åke Sellström, who investigated the use of chemical weapons in both Iraq and Syria, it is unlikely that Bashar Al-Assad and the Syrian Army were responsible for the attack in Eastern Ghouta.

“With great criticism from the international community, Assad and Russians bombard Ghouta bit by bit, and that they would add the opportunity to be criticized for using chemicals – it feels strange. They do not need it, their tactics are already successful,” said Sellström, adding that there could be numerous “other explanations” for the attack.

Sellström added that if the United Nations was to investigate the attack, recordings and testimony would not be enough to ascertain what happened.

“We would have to meet people and doctors themselves and, in particular, need samples from the environment and poisoned persons,” said Sellström, adding that it would be difficult to measure chlorine exposure “because it evaporates quickly and does not leave any clear markers in the body”.

As we document in the video below, the rebel group in Douma had already agreed to leave the area within 48 hours and the battle was won.

A rebel-held chemical weapons factory was also discovered in the same region where the attack happened just weeks ago.

Given that the Syrian Army was on the verge of victory, it makes no sense whatsoever that they would sabotage their own success.

  1. The Brits are coming apart as a nation. so is most of the western world, Former Congressman Ron Paul has warned that the Neocons have
    taken control of the White House and intend to start a major war in the
    Middle East, using Syria as the catalyst.

      • They have a stranglehold over foreign and military policies. And they are heavily represented in Trump’s cabinet.

      • That’s where your’re wrong. The British Empire in the guise of the Intelligence Agency MI6, is running the show. Check out LaRouche on youtube.

    • there is not clear from where chemicals wapons came from..?

      Who has access to this chenical weapons..?

      “A rebel-held chemical weapons factory was also discovered in the same region where the attack happened just weeks ago”

      The Chemical Weapons Manufactoring felt down a rebel group into control since when…?

      And why The Chemical Weapons Manufactoring where there and why UN doesn’t have a clue of the existence of this Chemical Weapons Manufactoring

    • The UK is a cesspit……..I know – I live here. The lying, cheating, corrupt May & her chronies are looting the public purse as though money is going out of fashion. Everything is falling apart & the politicians are to blame not the person in the street….we just suffer.

      • I suspect all the looting and stashing of money in offshore tax havens, is because they know that when the world discovers the lies that we have been told about the middle east, the western economy will crash. So, although it is a good thing that we are exposing this barbaric mass murder committed by the western governments, once it all gets exposed, we will be in for the worst economic crash in history.

        But, even in spite of that, I am happy to do everything I can to expose these mass murdering psychopaths, and I hope they all hang!

        • My goodness where have you been all my life. YOU should be in Parliament DWS. Yours are the morals that societywas once founded on but seem to have lost. Great post thank you. PS I’m English but don’t live there thank god.

      • Go and see a doctor, the only thing that’s “British” and fucked is you.

        The people in the street are exactly the ones to blame – who do you think voted the politicians into parliament, genius?

        • I am a doctor. I see so many people just like you who have lost all sense of reality & proportion who only know to lash out when confronted with the truth. It comes from having an addled brain & tripping on crack so much.

          • Yes OF COURSE you are, Doctor. Like all commenters on Disqus, you have beautiful shiny PhDs, don’t you?

            I see no end of cretinous bell-ends on Disqus who claim to be doctors, and type some of the most execrable bilge you’ve ever read. It comes from having no job, having to sign on every week, and constantly cranking with the curtains drawn, and Jeremy Kyle on the telly.

            I prescribe you go back to your crayons for now, and above all, get some SSRIs down your neck before you end up in a padded cell (assuming you’re not already an inhabitant!)

    • They may give the perception if control but then how do you explain the fact that Pompeo has met with Kim Jong-un? Besides they have already started a war it just happens they have not succeeded in intimidating Putin to retaliate. Yet the critical point to understand is that the British are running this push for war through the use of hoaxes; Russiagate, Skripal affair, raising Trumps lawyers office, false flag chemical attack, and now the lying accusation that Russia has interfered with OPCW investigating Duma.

  2. It is only an operations theater to generate a war with Russia. Considering how much has been destroyed lets hope they will keep the fights there locally and that they will not extend to Europe.

    • This is a pretty callous way of putting it, like “they’ve already taken so much, they can surely take a bit more, so long as WE are safe” !

      • 1. “WE” are not safe,there is a different type of underground war against Russia going in the Eastern block. But WE do not speak out,we do not claim anything,we only carry our cross. In this case I think only YOU are safe. 2. Indeed it might look callous but as long as are strategic operations, it is then a location that has been strategically chosen, in this case they have to take charge in moving the population from those areas.

  3. Israelis used Sarin bombs delivered by stealth warplanes F-35s. Israeli stealth warplanes cannot be seen on radar. Israelis abused US warplanes sold to defend Israel to commit genocide against civilians. Israel did this war crime to provoke US military action like they have done in the past.

  4. The Syrian Army cleared the area and found chemical gas of Israel origin and chemical suits that were all left behind from the terrorist factions.

  5. the previous OPCW investigators detected chlorine long after an event, although i don’t personally trust any method or report by them, they are biased towards regime change… read them!

  6. His opinion. Not his knowledge. White Helmets, doctors, surgeons, all who suffered or were deali9ng with attacks, chemicals included, were interviewed thoroughly several years ago when the were proposed for a RL Award.

  7. Just goes to show that you’re a fool if you ever take the word of the United States or any of its allies on anything!

  8. So weeks ago, they found a rebel-held chemical weapons factory. Was it destroyed or allowed to continue to exist?

  9. Trump must defeat British run hoaxes designed to remove him. British are on thin ice. The Anglo-Dutch financial system is bankrupt and the British would rather start another world war rather than submit to the new paradigm of human economic development; the BELT ROAD INITIATIVE. The potential for the US to restore the “American System” which Lyndon LaRouche advocates and Trump has referenced as necessary to rebuild US economy has the British paranoid and hysterical in their attacks on on Russia and their goading Trump into illegal and unjustified military actions.
