Russia, for over a month, has been warning that the surrounded rebels in Idlib province are preparing a false-flag attack to frame Damascus and trigger a US led-coalition intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I can tell, they have been planning a fake attack, not a genuine one, but one where they actually move people out of a town and they have trained people to portray victims of a gas attack,\u201d<\/em> Black told The Washington Post.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd the plan is to use the White Helmets who have always been involved in these notorious deceptions, to portray an attack.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
