Kiev Uses Chemical Weapons
Kiev Uses Chemical Weapons
by Stephen Lendman
Fascists wage wars their way. Dirty ones rage. America fights this way.
It's done so throughout its existence. No-holds-barred barbarism reflects official policy.
Washington manipulates criminal events in Ukraine. Coup-appointed putschists are convenient stooges. They're murdering their own people. They're doing it in cold blood.
Donetsk People's Republic leaders said Mariupol self-defense forces were attacked with chemical weapons. A statement issued said:
"Kiev bears the entire responsibility not only for their state agencies' actions, but also for the actions by citizens who illegally apply means of chemical warfare."
"Armed groups controlled by Kiev used unidentified chemical weapons on May 6 while storming the City Council headquarters."
"The defenders of the City Council have left the contaminated area."
"Many of them had their breathing systems damaged, which is likely to have consequences and probably be a danger to their lives."
A toxic choking agent was used. One victim was diagnosed with unidentified gas poisoning.
Others were affected. Symptoms include first-degree chemical-inflicted eye burns, alcoholic-like intoxication, bodily lacerations and fainting. Victims were hospitalized.
At the same time, Kiev forces attacked Mariupol. They did so with tanks and other heavy weapons.
Federalization supporters screamed "Fascists." Armored vehicles fired on unarmed civilians. Reports suggest around 20 deaths. Many more were wounded.
The 0629.ua news service reported "a tank seized at the crossroads of Lenina and Torgovaya streets by the representatives of the Donetsk People's Republic."
"At 12.50, 14 tanks were spotted coming from the agricultural base towards Mariupol. According to medics, there are two dead and 8 wounded," the report added.
"(O)n Lenin avenue, two people were seriously wounded - one in the head and another in the stomach."
"A huge pool of blood (was) next to the Arbat cafe. It's not known whether the wounded people have survived."
"Witnesses sa(id) they were driven away in a passenger car. The fighting (went) on next to the main police department."
"Gunfire (was) heard. Two armored vehicles blocked Artyom street." Residents barricaded streets. They burned tires. They overturned cars.
They stormed Mariupol's Interior Ministry building. According to a self-defense force representative:
"Camouflaged people...storm(ed) the building of the city’s interior ministry department. A bus with soldiers dr(ove) up."
"They (came) from a military unit located in the vicinity of Mariupol. Policemen who refuse to obey Kiev regime's orders (were) detained."
"Policemen of the city department refused to obey Kiev's orders and guard the building of the city council, which had been seized a day earlier by the Ukrainian security services."
"As a result, Kiev authorities decided to storm the building of the city Interior Ministry department. Policemen are shooting back."
"The building (was) surrounded." Self-defense forces said "(a)rmored vehicles approached (it) and opened fire with heavy weapons."
"The building is old and has thick walls, so you can't penetrate it with machine-gun fire." A city resident added:
"On the central street of the city, I saw tanks and armored vehicles with the Ukrainian flags at around 11.40 am (local time)."
"Then, the city residents started to gather near the city executive committee building."
"Then some of the protesters tried to go to the district department of interior, but it seemed that the Kiev regime military was beginning to shoot at those who attempted to approach."
"I don't know if they were shooting to kill, but at their legs - that's for sure."
A separate report said the Interior Ministry was set ablaze.
RT International reported what happened. Its stringer was wounded. He's identified only as Andrey for his safety.
It happened while filming. He sustained a stomach injury. His bulletproof vest didn't help. He's hospitalized in serious condition. Reports suggest he'll survive.
On Friday, gun battles raged. Ukrainian MP Oleg Lyashko said:
"The perimeter around the Interior Ministry department building in Mariupol is completely blocked by the armed forces."
"Terrorists are barricaded inside and are now returning fire. An order has been issued not to take anyone alive."
Fascists fight this way. Friday was Victory Day. It commemorated Nazi Germany's defeat. Russia honored heroes of its Great Patriotic War.
Ukrainians did so nationwide. Many thousands were on city streets. Imagine waging war this day. Imagine attacking civilians.
Imagine targeting unarmed ones. Imagine doing so with thousands in harm's way.
Imagine US media scoundrels ignoring what happened. Imagine European ones misreporting it.
Imagine them calling freedom fighters "terrorists." Imagine them ignoring civilian casualties.
Imagine fascists fighting this way. Imagine Washington supporting their worst brutality. Imagine direct orders to commit mass murder. One fascist regime supports another.
About 1,500 Mariupol residents participating in Victory Day commemoration marched on police headquarters.
They did so resisting Ukraine's military. According to a self-defense forces spokesman:
"Demonstrators - about 1,500 in all - rushed to the police department building."
"Men wearing black camouflage walk(ed) towards them, firing shots in the air."
Other residents burned tires near City Council headquarters. Mariupol is one of many Eastern Ukrainian battlegrounds.
Kharkov is Ukraine's second largest city. On Friday, an anti-government rally was held. Around 1,500 residents participated.
One held a sign reading: "Referendum. We're not separatist!" Residents oppose Kiev's "junta." They called coup-appointed officials "US henchemen."
Putschists are waging "war against (their) own people," they said. Thousands of Donetsk residents rallied. They chanted greetings to Great Patriotic War veterans.
"Congratulations!" "Hurrah!" and "Russia!," they shouted. Self-defense forces leader Denis Pushilin thanked veterans for defeating fascism.
He urged people to vote in Sunday's referendum, saying:
"We must confirm our choice on May 11, confirm our holy duty to continue to carry the banner of Victory."
"We are Russians. The great Russian heritage is awakening in us, and we will win a victory whatever the cost."
Police were supportive. They wore St. George's ribbons. City residents applauded them.
Thousands in Slavyansk rallied. They celebrated Victory Day. They did so despite Kiev-imposed martial law.
Recently released People's Governor Pavel Gubarev urged residents throughout Southeast Ukraine "to join the people's militia under the command of Igor Strelkov."
Slavyansk People's Mayor Vyacheslav Ponomarev called on them to fight fascism. Vote in Sunday's referendum, he stressed.
Odessans displayed a red banner over the Trade Union House building. They did so honoring hundreds Right Sector thugs killed on May 2. Most were inside.
Crowds assembled in Taras Shevchenko Park. They did so to honor Soviet soldiers killed in the Great Patriotic War.
Others gathered in Kulikovo Field. Right Sector thugs burned activist tents on May 2. Doing so was prelude to murdering 300 unarmed civilians inside and outside the Trade Union House building.
Odessan mayoral candidate Aleksey Albu said:
"We have plans to put up a new tent camp after May 9. This time, there will be many more people there."
Odessa and other Eastern Ukrainian cities remain battlegrounds. Expect no end of fighting soon. Perhaps bloodbath conditions before things end.
Orders come straight from Washington. Eliminate opposition elements. Do it at all costs.
Unleash violence without mercy. Use tanks, artillery, mortars, APCs, helicopter gunships, and other heavy weapons against civilians.
Murder them in cold blood. Lie. Claim they're terrorists. Say you're protecting Ukraine.
Good journalism is the first casualty of war. It's a "weapon of war," said John Pilger.
Censorship is longstanding policy. Truth-telling is verboten. Media scoundrels suppress what people most need to know.
Managed news misinformation substitutes. Reporting on Ukraine has been appalling and then some. It matches the worst against Saddam, Gaddafi and Assad.
Bad fiction substitutes for hard truths. It persists daily. Presstitutes make street whores look good by comparison. Marching in lockstep with US policy alone matters.
Expect lots more of the same ahead. Ukrainian crisis conditions promise to get worse. Perhaps much worse before things end.
Perhaps Obama bit off more than he can chew. Ukraine isn't the walkover he planned. He's his own worst enemy.
He may have shot himself in the foot. Putin makes him look amateurish by comparison.
He outsmarted him since crisis erupted last November. At times he made him look foolish.
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland mocks the office she holds.
She was caught on tape using obscene language. She admitted Washington spent over $5 billion dollars toppling Ukraine's democratically elected government.
On Thursday, House Foreign Affairs Committee members challenged her with tough questions on Ukraine.
Dana Rohrabacher (R. CA) said Ukrainians had a "legitimate election before, and the legitimate president was removed after we had major street violence."
"There were pictures of people running around that we were told were neo-Nazis."
Nuland was hard-pressed to answer. Rohrabacher wanted straight talk. She failed to deliver. She lied saying:
"First of all, the vast majority of those who were participating on Maidan were peaceful protesters. There were mothers and grandmothers and veterans."
Rohrabacker interrupted her. He didn't mince words stressing:
"I saw those pictures, and I also saw a lot of people throwing fire bombs at groups of policemen."
"There were people shooting into the ranks of police. So, yes, there were mothers with flowers, but there were also very dangerous street fighters engaged in those demonstrations."
"The question is: were there neo-Nazi groups involved?"
Nuland was nonplussed. She couldn't deny credible video evidence. "There were many colors of Ukraine involved including very ugly colors," she said.
She stopped well short of truth, the whole truth, and nothing else. US-supported neo-Nazis bore full responsibility for Maidan violence. Likeminded extremists shared it.
Clear evidence proved it. Coverup and denial suppressed it. Ousted President Viktor Yanukovych had no involvement. Nor members of his government.
Nuland didn't explain. She's a war criminal. She's guilty of high crimes. Her policy positions indict her.
She belongs in prison doing hard time. So does Washington's entire criminal class. They mock legitimate governance.
They shame positions they hold. Washington makes more enemies than friends. They're heading America for tyranny and ruin.
It's too late for mere scattered reforms. Hubris, arrogance and overreach assure ending imperial rampaging sooner or later.
America is plagued by the same dynamic that doomed past empires. It's spending itself to death. It's bullying nations into supporting what harms their own interests.
It's threatening outliers that don't. It's increasingly having to work harder to accomplish less. It's falling short or failing more often. It's the world's top pariah state.
It bears repeating. It's heading for tyranny, bankruptcy and ruin. Misguided policies wreck all empires. Washington is no exception.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. When America goes, the crash will resonate worldwide. It can't happen a moment too soon.

Another False Flag Chemical Weapons Attack Planned
Another False Flag Chemical Weapons Attack Planned
by Stephen Lendman
Jobar is a Damascus area suburb. On April 1, Syria's permanent UN envoy Bashir al-Jaafari said terrorists plan attacking it with chemical weapons.
He knew days earlier. He sent two identical letters to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Security Council President Joy Ogwu.
He said Syrian authorities monitored a landline call between two Jobar area terrorists. They discussed distributing gas masks to their elements to protect against a planned toxic gas attack.
A second intercepted call discussed launching it. Blaming Assad for their crime is planned. At issue is Ghouta 2.0.
On August 21, 2013, Assad was wrongfully blamed for insurgents attacking Ghouta. It's a Damascus suburb.
Clear evidence proved a false flag. Terror gangs launched others earlier. At the time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich said:
"We’re getting more new evidence that this criminal act was of a provocative nature."
"In particular, there are reports circulating on the Internet, in particular that the materials of the incident and accusations against government troops had been posted for several hours before the so-called attack. Thus, it was a pre-planned action."
It reflects "another anti-Syrian propaganda wave." Calls for force "heard from EU capitals (are) unacceptable."
Assad demonstrated a "constructive approach." He did so by letting UN experts investigate sites of previous chemical weapons attacks.
Insurgents reject a similar cooperative approach, Lukashevich added.
Al-Jaafari said information obtained revealed Jabhat al-Nusra plans striking the suburban Damascus Adra area Sukkar site.
Video evidence showed a BMP armored vehicle loaded with 7,000 kilograms of TNT and C4. Another car was loaded with explosives. Both contained chemical weapons.
"There's nothing called the international community, unfortunately," al-Jaafari said.
"We directed two letters to the Security Council to have the countries that keep talking about the threats of chemical weapons to pressure the countries sponsoring and funding these terrorist groups - specifically the Turkish, Saudi, and Qatari governments - to prevent such terrorist acts by pressuring these terrorist gangs."
This matter is now in the hands of Security Council members. They've got it before an attack occurs. Whether it will now remains to be seen.
Al-Jaafari raised concern about Turkey's involvement in terrorist attacks. In the past week, Damascus sent five letters to Ban Ki-moon and Security Council President Joy Ogwu.
Terrorist groups "c(ome) from Turkish territories and were covered by Turkish artillery, tanks and aircrafts so that they aren't engaged by the Syrian Army in that area, with the purpose of the Turkish military involvement being an attempt to distract the Syrian Army form these terrorist groups so that they may commit their heinous acts," said al-Jaafari.
Western-backed death squads are desperate. They'll try anything. They've done it many times before. Assad was wrongfully blamed for chemical weapons attacks they launched.
Saudi Arabia is directly involved. So are CIA operatives, US special forces and Pentagon contractors. Terrorists are trained in CW use in Turkey and Jordan. Perhaps in Israel.
Syria is Obama's war. He bears full responsibility for over three years of horrific death, destruction, mass displacement and human misery.
State terrorism is official US policy. Humanity is targeted globally. Syria is in the eye of the storm. Obama wants another imperial trophy.
Israel wants a regional rival eliminated. Isolating Iran is planned. Perhaps attacking it. Dick Cheney is an unindicted war criminal multiple times over.
Last weekend, he addressed a closed-door Republican Jewish Coalition annual spring meeting. He did so in Las Vegas.
Former Florida Governor/perhaps 2016 Republican presidential aspirant Jeb Bush attended. So did Republican Governors Chris Christie (NJ), Scott Walker (WS), and John Kasich (OH).
Cheney ridiculed Obama's foreign policy. He's not tough enough, he said. He rejected ongoing P5+1 Iranian nuclear talks.
He voiced support for Israel attacking its facilities. Attendees responded with applause.
Sheldon Adelson is a gaming tycoon multi-billionaire. He's one of America's richest. He's ideologically over-the-top.
He's militantly hard right. He advocates nuking Iran. He did so last October. He wants an atom bomb detonated in an Iranian desert area. He wants it "serv(ing) as a shot across the bow."
"Then you say, 'See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So we mean business.' "
Neocon extremists want pro-Western puppet regimes replacing legitimate Iranian and Syrian governments. They endorse destroying both countries to achieve their objective.
They're mindless about potentially millions of lost lives. Imperial priorities alone matter. Wars of aggression persist.
Peace and stability are systematically spurned. Chemical, biological, radiological, and other illegal weapons are used. Anything goes is official policy.
No verifiable evidence shows Syrian forces used chemical weapons against anyone at any time throughout years of conflict. Claiming otherwise is willful, malicious lying.
Clear evidence proved terrorists used sarin and other chemical weapons multiple times.
UN investigators confirmed their sarin use. They did so before equivocating on their initial statement. Waffling followed heavy Western pressure.
In March 2013, credible evidence showed insurgents used chemical weapons. Home-made rockets fired contained CL 17.
It's a form of chlorine. It induces vomiting, fainting, suffocation and seizures. People nearby were affected.
Civilians are harmed most. Western-backed death squads target them. Assad loyalists are most vulnerable.
A no longer accessible January 29, 2013 UK Daily Mail report headlined "US 'backed plan to launch chemical weapon attack on Syria and blame it on Assad's regime,' " saying:
"Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that could be blamed on Assad's regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country."
"A report released on Monday contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence where a scheme 'approved by Washington' is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons."
In May 2013, Turkish police arrested 12 suspected Al Nusra fighters. They were seized in southern Turkey. They were caught red-handed with a two gm cylinder of sarin nerve gas.
Initial Turkish media reports said four and a half pounds of sarin were seized. Handguns, grenades, bullets and various documents were found.
In December 2012, a Syrian insurgent video surfaced. It showed terrorists testing chemical weapons on lab rabbits. Threats to use them against Assad loyalists followed.
Lab equipment and chemical containers were shown. Some bore the Turkish chemical company Tekkim name.
An Arabic text wall poster read, "The Almighty Wind Brigade (Kateebat A Reeh Al Sarsar)."
A man was shown mixing chemicals in a beaker. It emits gas. Rabbits in a glass box have convulsions, collapse and die. The audio states:
"You saw what happened. This will be your fate, you infidel Alawites. I swear by Allah to make you die like these rabbits, one minute after you inhale the gas."
Death squads use terror tactics. They're no match against Syria's superior military. It's routing insurgents effectively. Impressive victories were achieved.
Terrorist leader Abdullah Ghazal was killed. An insurgent al-Batra position was destroyed. Many foreign fighters were killed or injured.
Numerous terrorist pockets were eliminated. Ones in areas around al-Zabadani, Douma, Bilal Abdelhaq, Deir al-Asafir, Ein Tarma, al-Mleiha, al-Masri, Pnoq al-Hawa, Abu Hawadid, Jeb al-Jarrah, al-Ghassebiyeh, al-Dar al-Kabira and elsewhere were destroyed.
In recent days, scores, perhaps hundreds, of terrorists were killed or wounded. Their weapons and munitions were eliminated or seized.
An al-Hosen Homs area explosives factory was discovered and destroyed. Terrorists sustain heavy losses daily.
What they plan next remains to be seen. Will US-led NATO Libya 2.0 follow? Is destroying Syria entirely planned?
Is eliminating the Syrian Republic altogether? Is replacing it with another subservient pro-Western puppet regime coming?
Does Israel plan its own direct intervention? Will perhaps hundreds of thousands of Syrians perish? Will horrendous more war crimes be committed?
Obama is a serial killer. There's no telling what he'll do. Anything is possible on his watch. At stake is humanity's survival.
Whether Americans awaken to the threat and act responsibly remains to be seen. They're largely dismissive.
Their welfare and future are at stake. They lie in their own hands. Passivity is no longer an option.
Resisting tyranny is a universal right. When governments act lawlessly, replacing them is a moral imperative.
It's obligatory. It's vital. World peace hangs in the balance. The alternative is police state repression. It's potential mass annihilation. Preventing it matters most.

The Chemical Weapons Pretext: Paving the Way for a Future US Military Strike on...
Timothy Alexander Guzman, Silent Crow News - An Obama administration official confirmed earlier this Week that Israel conducted a military strike on a Syrian base in Latakia according to a CNN report. The Israeli government has not confirmed or denied the allegations. Israel has claimed it was intended to disrupt the transfer of weapons headed for Hezbollah located in Southern Lebanon. CNN reported the following:
“An explosion at a missile storage site in the area was reported in the Middle Eastern press, but an attack has not been confirmed by the Israeli government” the report also stated that the “the target, according to the Obama administration official, was missiles and related equipment the Israelis felt might be transferred to the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah. The official declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information. There was some confusion about the timing of the attack, with some reports saying it happened Wednesday, and others saying Thursday.
Israel has launched airstrikes in the past including one in January that targeted a Syrian convoy allegedly “moving weapons to Hezbollah.” Hezbollah has enough weapons to counter Israeli Defense Forces as they proved in 2006. The largest Israeli news website www.ynetnews.com reported on October 29th, 2013 that the “Shiite group rebuilt its strength, arsenal, now poses acute threat to State of Israel” and that “Hezbollah has thousands and thousands of rockets and missiles pointed at Israel and this is a problem,” Brig. Gen. (res) Amos Gilboa, who spent decades in Israeli army intelligence told The Media Line. “Hezbollah is a major threat to Israel. In the past, its firepower was mainly directed against northern Israel, but now it can also reach Tel Aviv, the heart of our industry and technology.” Did Israel strike Latakia to prevent the export of Russian made weapons from Syria to Hezbollah the real motive? Or was it part of a plan to weaken Syria’s defense capabilities for a future invasion by the US military? This attack comes at a moment when Syria has met demands to destroy its chemical production facilities while the US government and Saudi Arabia continue to support the rebels associated with al-Nusrah and Al-Qaeda who are well known terrorist organizations. Reuters also reported that “One Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he thought that Israel had indeed carried out a strike. He stressed that he was not entirely certain, however. Israel has repeatedly warned that it is prepared to use force to prevent advanced weapons, notably from Iran, reaching Lebanon’s powerful Shi’ite Muslim guerrillas through Syria. It carried out several air strikes on Syria earlier this year.” The truth is that Israel along with the US is trying to weaken the Syrian government’s ability to defend itself militarily. When Libya agreed with the West to eliminate its chemical weapons in 2003, plans to oust Muammar Gaddafi were set. Gaddafi wanted to normalize relations with the United States and the United Kingdom with his decision to eliminate Libya’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The Arms Control Association (ACA) released a report titled “Chronology of Libya’s Disarmament and Relations with the United States” stated the following:
On December 19, 2003, long-time Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi stunned much of the world by renouncing Tripoli’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs and welcoming international inspectors to verify that Tripoli would follow through on its commitment.
Following Gaddafi’s announcement, inspectors from the United States, United Kingdom, and international organizations worked to dismantle Libya’s chemical and nuclear weapons programs, as well as its longest-range ballistic missiles. Washington also took steps toward normalizing its bilateral relations with Tripoli, which had essentially been cut off in 1981.
Libya’s decision has since been characterized as a model for other states suspected of developing WMD in noncompliance with their international obligations to follow. Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control Stephen Rademaker stated May 2, 2005 during the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference that Libya’s choice “demonstrates that, in a world of strong nonproliferation norms, it is never too late to make the decision to become a fully compliant NPT state,” noting that Tripoli’s decision has been “amply rewarded.”
Libya should be a lesson. Although Syria met its deadline by destroying their chemical weapons building capabilities, Western powers in collaboration with Israel and Saudi Arabia will continue to destabilize the Syrian government. Washington is preparing for a military strike on Syria if President Bashir al-Assad and his government remain in power. Many in Washington including President Barack Obama and possible future Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton along with Secretary of State John Kerry have publically stated that “Assad Must Go”.
Washington, Riyadh and Tel-Aviv want a compliant government in place that will cut ties to its allies notably Iran and Russia. It would give Washington a strategic advantage in the region. Once that happens, the US would then back Israel with a strike on Iran. Then war with Russia and China can become a dangerous reality. Washington wants to dominate the Middle East and Eurasia. Syria is a stepping stone towards that goal. There will be more strikes against the Syrian government and its military installations by the Israeli government in the coming weeks and months ahead. Washington’s backed rebels will continue to advance towards Damascus committing more atrocities. War is on the agenda even if President Assad complies with any demands made by Washington and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the international chemical weapons watchdog that oversaw the disarmament program. Iran, Russia and China are all well aware of this fact; after all they are surrounded by numerous US military bases.

Obama wags the dog over Syria chemical weapons
President Obama immediately cast doubt over concerns that the rebels could have been behind the attack and, despite the lack of any compelling evidence, the US concluded in June that Syrian government forces were the perpetrators. The use of chemical weapons signified the crossing of Obama’s much-touted ‘red line’ by government forces, prompting Washington to announce that it would now openly supply the rebels with arms. Meanwhile, Russia made it clear that they were not convinced by Washington’s claims as prominent Russian political figures made comparisons between Obama’s unverified claims of chemical weapons in Syria and Bush’s fabricated claims of WMDs in Iraq.

No evidence to support chemical weapons use in Syria – US official
Published time: March 22, 2013 03:11
A US official has revealed that there may have been no chemical weapons used in a deadly incident occurring Tuesday in Syria’s Aleppo. Meanwhile the UN has launched a full-scale investigation into the disputed attack.
"Our growing sense is that weaponized chemical weapons were not used," claimed the US official, speaking anonymously on Thursday. A European security official has taken the same stance, saying that the death toll in the event of a chemical attack would be much higher than presently recorded. He added that there was no evidence to support the allegation, despite prior accusations by a multitude of Western officials.
The Syrian government and rebel forced have been accusing each other of using chemical agents after a recent rocket attack near the province of Aleppo claimed 26 lives.
While Barack Obama reiterated his stance regarding President Bashar Assad, saying that he would be held accountable if found to have carried out the attack, UN chief Ban Ki-moon promised a probe as soon as possible. "I have decided to conduct a United Nations investigation into the possible use of chemical weapons in Syria," Ban Ki-moon told reporters, specifying that the investigation will focus on the Aleppo attack, "the specific incident brought to my attention by the Syrian government."
The UN investigators will cooperate with experts with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The incident will be investigated as a single case, which goes against France and the UK’s initial request to investigate another supposed attack, allegedly in Damascus.
Moscow has expressed hope that the US and France are not going to hamper the UN investigation into the Aleppo chemical attack in Syria. “I expressed hope that their initiatives are not attempts to postpone, hamper or prevent the investigation into what happened on March 19, because this issue needs urgent attention,” Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin stated.
Churkin’s US counterpart, Susan Rice, supported the probe in a statement on Thursday. "As the U.N. proceeds with these efforts, we will also continue to work closely with our partners to obtain further information regarding any and all credible allegations of the potential or actual use of chemical weapons in Syria," said Rice.
Meanwhile, Republican Senator John McCain and the Democrat Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin, continued with the anti-Assad rhetoric, saying in a letter to President Obama that “the potential use of chemical weapons only makes the case for greater action more compelling and urgent."
Obama: If Syrian regime used chemical weapons, ‘red line’ crossed
Published time: March 20, 2013 20:38
President Barack Obama said that the US is looking into reports that chemical weapons were used in Aleppo on Tuesday, killing two dozen people. If the Syrian government deployed them, it would mean a “red line” had been crossed, he warned.
Obama’s warning that the deployment of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime would be a “game changer” came during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, both the Syrian government and rebel fighters accused each other of launching a rocket chemical warhead in Aleppo which reportedly killed 25 and injured 86.
“With respect to chemical weapons, we intend to investigate thoroughly exactly what happened,” Obama said.
“So I’ve instructed my teams to work closely with all other countries in the region and international organizations and institutions to find out precisely whether this red line was crossed.”
Obama expressed deep skepticism regarding Syrian state media reports that “terrorists” had in fact fired the rocket, saying that the Syrian government both had the capability and had previously expressed a willingness to deploy chemical weapons “to protect themselves.”
“The broader point is that once we establish the facts, I have made clear that the use of chemical weapons is a game changer and I won’t make an announcement today about next steps because I think we have to gather the facts. But I do think that when you start seeing weapons that can cause potential devastation and mass causalities and you let that genie out of the bottle, then you are looking potentially at even more horrific scenes than we’ve already seen in Syria, and the international community has to act on that additional information,” Obama concluded.

Human Rights Watch, US Reject Report That Syria Used Chemical Weapons
A front line, where rebels have made slow gains against the entrenched Syrian Army, in Aleppo, Syria, December 12, 2012. (Photo: Tyler Hicks / The New York Times) Employees of the advocacy group Human Rights Watch expressed skepticism Wednesday over a report that a State Department cable had concluded that the Syrian government used chemical weapons last month against rebel-held neighborhoods in the city of Homs.
The group, which has been at the forefront of documenting human rights violations perpetrated during Syria's civil war, said it had received reports of suspected chemical-weapons use in Homs but had been unable to confirm that the incident had taken place.
"I shared these with our arms experts at HRW at the time, but based on the information available to us we have not been able to confirm that the government did in fact use chemical weapons," Lama Fakih, a researcher for Human Rights Watch based in Lebanon, said in an email.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland also rejected the report, saying U.S. authorities had investigated a tip that arrived in late December about a possible chemical-weapons attack in Homs but found "no credible evidence to corroborate or confirm chemical weapons."
The issue of chemical weapons in Syria's civil war is a sensitive one. President Barack Obama has said that the use of such weapons by the government of President Bashar Assad would trigger a so-far undefined American military response, and U.S. officials have used diplomatic and other channels repeatedly to warn the Syrian government not to use its chemical weapons.
The issue was raised again Tuesday, however, when a blog on the website of the journal Foreign Policy reported that a classified diplomatic cable from the U.S. consulate in Istanbul had concluded that chemical weapons had been used.
The report didn't quote the cable itself. But it said an Obama administration official who'd read the cable said an investigation by a company hired by the United States had determined that Syrian doctors in Homs had made a "strong case" that the Syrian military had deployed a chemical agent. But the story also quoted the unnamed administration official as saying that U.S. officials weren't "100 percent certain" that chemical weapons had been deployed.
Rami Abdurrahman, the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based group that tracks the fighting and casualties on both sides of Syria's war, said he was familiar with the incident the cable referred to and that he too didn't believe that chemical weapons had been involved. He noted that rebels frequently report the use of chemical weapons but that to date no such report has been confirmed.
"It's not chemical weapons, but they used some kind of gas," Abdurrahman said, noting that some of the people who'd been exposed to the gas had made full recoveries.
"If you have evidence I will report it, but I will not participate in propaganda," Abdurrahman said.
Outside groups have documented the Syrian government's use of other kinds of weapons that have been confused with chemical weapons, including incendiary cluster bombs, which cause fires that are difficult to extinguish and can cause severe burns, as well as skin and lung damage and death from inhaling the smoke they produce.

State Department denies Syria’s use of chemical weapons despite media reports

A classified State Department cable relayed US officials’ beliefs that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against opposition rebels but an investigation on Monday concluded that Assad was in fact using riot-control gas.
Foreign Policy’s “The Cable” reported Tuesday that a secret diplomatic cable provided information that Assad’s military had used chemical weapons in an attack that left five dead and injured about 100 in the city of Homs.
“We can’t definitely say 100 percent, but Syrian contacts made a compelling case that Agent 15 was used in Homs,” a White House official told Foreign Policy Magazine under condition of anonymity. Agent 15, also known as 3-Quinuclidinyl Benzilate (BZ), is an incapacitating chemical that causes hallucinations and confusion and can sometimes be lethal.
The cable had been signed and classified as “secret” by US consul general in Istanbul, Scott Frederic Kilner. It included interviews with activists, doctors and defectors who all believed the Assad regime had used chemical weapons in an attack against the rebels, which means he would have crossed the “red line” US President Barack Obama spoke about last August. Crossing this line would have evoked the possibility of direct US intervention in the Syrian conflict.
Foreign Policy claimed the report ‘confirmed’ US officials’ worst fears: that chemical weapons were being used in Syria and that Assad was ‘testing US red lines.’
But the results of a State Department investigation show that the material used by the Assad regime was a “riot control agent” which was designed not to have any lasting effects but was more dangerous than officials estimated, since it was released in dense areas.
“It is meant to be short term,” a State Department official told CNN. “But just like with tear gas, if you breathe in an entire canister, that can have a severe effect on your lungs and other organs.”
Dr. Abu al Fida, who treated about 30 of the gas victims, told CNN that proximity to the substance played a significant role in the severity of the symptoms. Victims who were closest to the riot gas suffered paralyses, seizures, muscle spasms and in some cases blindness – symptoms that could have also resulted from exposure to chemical weapons.
Some of the victims were effectively treated with a medication normally used to treat people exposed to the chemical weapon sarin.
The results of the new investigation may bring comfort to Americans worried about a US intervention in Syria, since riot gas does not classify as a chemical weapon and its use, however deadly, would therefore not be crossing the ‘red line’.
"The president was very clear when he said that if the Assad regime makes the tragic mistake of using chemical weapons, or fails to meet its obligation to secure them, the regime will be held accountable," National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor told CNN.
