"Proof
of chemical attack": Same old lies ahead of the presidential
election in Syria
Propaganda alert

3 May 2014
In
a desperate attempt to sabotage
the upcoming presidential
election in Syria, the mass
media constantly reiterate the same old lies about
“chemical weapon attacks”. They must be held to
account for their major role in the three-year long NATO-led genocidal
war on Syria.

Syria
chemical weapons: the proof that Assad regime launching chlorine
attacks on children
by
Ruth Sherlock, Daily Telegraph, 30 April 2014
President Bashar al-Assad is still using chemical weapons against
civilians, a scientific analysis of samples from multiple gas attacks
has shown. In the first independent testing of its
kind,conducted exclusively for The Telegraph, soil samples from the
scene of three recent attacks in the country were collected by trained
individuals known to this news organisation and analysed by a chemical
warfare
expert. Our results show sizeable and unambiguous traces of chlorine
and ammonia present at the site of all three attacks.

U.S.
officials say Syria is using remaining chemical weapons stockpile as
leverage
by
Ernesto Londono and Greg Miller, Washington Post, 30 April 2014The
months-long effort to
dismantle Syria's chemical weapons program has ground to a halt because
Syria is holding on to 27 tons of sarin precursor chemicals as leverage
in a dispute with the international community over the future of
facilities used to store the
deadly agents, according to U.S. officials.

Israeli
intelligence: Assad
concealing chemical capability
by Amos Harel, Haaretz, 30 April
2014
Israeli
intelligence is afraid that the regime of President Bashar Assad in
Syria is acting to conceal a small
percentage of the chemical weapons in its possession, while misleading
the international community. This assessment joins similar ones heard
in the past two weeks from intelligence sources
in the United States
and Great Britain, and which have been cited in the international
media.

US
suggests Syria violated
Chemical Weapons Convention
by
Michael Wilner,
Jerusalem Post,
23 April 2014Syria
may have violated
a United Nations convention against
the use of chemical weapons only seven months after joining the treaty,
the US suggested on
Tuesday. The claims came after reports surfaced last week that Syrian
President
Bashar Assad’s forces might have deployed chlorine on the
battlefield. At least two died in the alleged chemical assault on a
village in a rebel-held
area, while dozens of others were wounded.

Syria:
A rock-solid
evidence on sarin gas
by Luc Mathieu,
Libération, 26 March 2014
[excerpt translated from French by Cem Ertür]
In April 2013, when the use of
chemical weapons by al-Assad was still in dispute,
«Libération» collected witness
testimonies of a possible sarin gas attack. Now, they have been
officially confirmed. So, the red line had already
been
crossed almost one year ago. Classified
as «Confidential Defence», the
report on the sample analysis (of gravels collected on the spot on
April 27 and
brought to France
on May 4, 2013 by a special correspondent of our newspaper) confirms
beyond any doubt the use of sarin gas, which is an
odourless
neurotoxin.
