Extract from: UN REPORT ON SYRIA AMBIGUOUS AND DANGEROUS

• On 5 March 2013 a chemical weapons attack in Khan al-Assal kills at least 25 and injures more than 100. A team of Russian experts investigated the incident, following international standards and procedure, using internationally recognized laboratories, concluding that a chemical weapon had been used by a specified terrorist group. At the end of July a new massacre is committed in Khan al-Assal, with 123 being murdered by the terrorists, who were specifically interested in liquidating witnesses to their use of a chemical weapon earlier.
•  
• On 28 May 2013, officers of the Turkish General Security Directorate arrested 12 members of the al-Qaeda linked Jabhat al-Nusrah in the Turkish city of Adana. The terrorists were in possession of 2 kg Sarin.
•  
• On 2nd June 2013, nsnbc international reported, that the Syrian Armed Forces had confiscated 2 kg of Sarin from terrorists in the Faraieh district of the city of Hama.
•  
• On 10 July, nsnbc international reported that the Syrian Arab Army had confiscated 281 barrels of chemicals from terrorists in the city of Banias. The event prompted Syria´s UN Ambassador, Bashar Ja´afari to say: “The Syrian authorities have discovered yesterday, in the city of Banias, 281 barrels filled with dangerous, hazardous chemical materials, capable of destroying a whole city, if not the whole country”.
•  
• On 14 July, nsnbc international reported, that the Syrian military had confiscated a cache of chemicals, along with weapons and equipment form terrorists in a Damascus suburb. The chemicals were from Saudi Arabia.

Armed forces seized an improvised chemical weapons factory in the suburbs of Damascus. Many of the chemicals were from Saudi Arabia.

NSNBC reported on numerous other incidents, and reported also, already in June, that a Palestinian source with close ties to an intelligence organization of one of the Syria-based Palestinian factions had credible information, according to which the “opposition”, together with the international alliance, including the USA, UK, France, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, were preparing a new, large scale political and military campaign in August and September. Large scale chemical weapons use, so the source reported, would be used to justify renewed calls for a “military intervention”.

• On 29 June 2013, nsnbc international reported, that a Palestinian nsnbc correspondent in Jordan reported, that the additional  300 US Special Forces, which have remained in Jordan after a regional military exercise a month ago, who are stationed in and near the Jordanian city al-Mafraq, are involved in training foreign insurgents, including insurgents with ties to al-Qaeda associated organizations, in special operations. Special operations are reportedly being prepared, with the intention to target high-profile political and military targets in Syria, in support of a major military push against Syria in August and September. The Palestinian nsnbc correspondent reports, that staff, following US Secretary of State, John Kerry, on his Middle East visit, has been taking part in talks with Israeli, Jordanian and Turkish diplomats, military, and intelligence experts, to discuss the coordination of the assault on Syria from a Jordanian, Israeli and Turkish front.
•  
• On 7 July 2013, nsnbc international reported, that an nsnbc source with close ties to the intelligence service of a Syria – based Palestinian faction reports, that there are strong indications for a preparation of a renewed military campaign against Syria in August or September 2013, and that it is highly probable, that Western, Arab and Israeli Forces will be playing an active role. The current, relative calm in Syria is reportedly deceptive and tied to attempts to increase the different insurgent forces and militia´s interoperability, communication, and the attempt to build a more centralized command and liaison structure.
•  
• On 11 July 2013, nsnbc intertnational reported, that The report ( from nsnbc´s Palestinian source) explicitly states that analysts expect that chemical weapons were to be used during the planned campaign in August and September, to establish an apparent pretext for an intervention.
•  
• On 16 July 2013, nsnbc international reported, that the Russian envoy to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, had told the United Nations, that the Free Syrian Army had used Sarin in their attack on the Khan al-Assal district of Aleppo in March 2013. The Russian UN Ambassador stated, that Russian experts had analyzed samples from the site and established that the rocket that was fired contained Sarin. Churkin said: “Therefore, there is every reason to believe that it was armed opposition fighters who used the chemical weapons in Khan al-Assal. According to information at our disposal, the production of `Basha’ir 3′ unguided projectiles was started in February 2013 by the so-called `Basha’ir al-Nasr’ brigade affiliated with the Free Syrian Army.” The Russian experts had followed international standards in their investigation and provided a full report to the White House and the office of the UN Secretary General. A White House spokesperson, Jay Carney, stated that the Sarin, which was used by the insurgents, could have come from Iraqi stockpiles which ended up in Libya, and made their way from Libya to the terrorists.

The UN report states clearly, that the attack on 21 August was not carried out with standard ammunition as used by the Syrian military. The report fails to define the exact composition of the Sarin, by which it is possible to identify whether it was a standard product or whether it was manufactured under non-industrial conditions, such as the Sarin that was used by terrorists in Khan al-Assal, Aleppo, in March 2013. While the report implies, that the Syrian military “could have moved evidence” even though the evidence was in rebel-held territory, it fails to address the substantial body of evidence for chemical weapons use by the “opposition”. The lack of actual scientific data, the omission of the obvious evidence for chemical weapons use by terrorists, and the implied statement that “the regime” could have used a chemical weapon is bound to aggravate the diplomatic dispute about chemical weapons use, and increase the likelihood of an aggression.
