MESOP SYRIA INSIGHT : EVIDENCE OF USING CHLORINE – NO PROTEST REACTION BY WSTERN LEFTIES
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons reported it had found “compelling evidence” that a toxic chemical, likely chlorine, was used “systematically and repeatedly” in attacks on the northern Syrian villages of Talmanes, Al Tamanah, and Kafr Zeta earlier this year. The report doesn’t specify who was responsible for the attacks, though only the Syrian government is known to have the ability to conduct the type of aerial attacks that were witnessed. The Syrian government was not required to include chorine when it submitted its declaration of chemical weapons in September 2013. Destruction of the declared stockpile was completed in August.
