"The emergence of dread unconventional weapons on the Syrian battlefield during the US president's stay in the region is bound to dominate his talks with its leaders. It may even have the effect of altering his schedule and affect his itinerary."
Make no mistake. Syrian forces used no chemical or other unconventional weapons. Suggesting it is false. Syrian officials categorically deny it.
On March 19, the Syrian Arab News Agency cited Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi. He accused countries arming death squad fighters.
He said terrorists fired a rocket with chemical substances from Da'el. It landed in al-Neirab on Khan al-Asal. It's southwest of Aleppo. It created a "dangerous escalation."
He holds Turkey and Qatar responsible. Two dozen people died. Over 100 hundred others were injured. Most are in critical condition.
"Whoever got involved and announced direct and public military support to the terrorists, whether he was an emir, a minister or a prime minister, must be held to account for the crime," he stressed.
He knows Washington bears main responsibility. It's been that way since conflict erupted.
Chemical weapons are banned, said al-Zoubi. Using them reflects a "dangerous shift in the course of what is taking place in Syria on the security and military levels."
