UN Envoy: Rebels Used Chemical Weapons

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Many facts "tend to prove the innocence of the Syrian government, which has been subject to false accusations," AFP quoted the ambassador as saying.The West and Turkey "have enabled terrorist groups to create a laboratory for chemical weapons on Turkish territory with materials provided by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar… and to bring these chemical weapons to Syria for use," he said.Western countries including the United States are allegedly considering a military invasion of Syria under the pretext of the use of chemical weapons in the country.While both the Syrian government and the foreign-backed militant groups accuse each other of using chemical weapons, a UN investigation team is in Syria probing into the incident.Russia has presented the UN Security Council with documents proving that the rebels have conducted the latest chemical attack which took place on August 21.British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the West could act on Syria even without the full backing of the United Nations Security Council./149
