Terrorists Admit Responsibility for Chemical Weapons Attack

Armed group members have told the Associated Press reporter that they mishandled Saudi-supplied chemical weapons, causing accident, according to Inforwar.com.

An article written by Paul Joseph Watson and published by the “Infowars.com” yesterday, revealed that armed groups in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta have admitted to the Associated Press correspondent Dale Gavlak that they were responsible for last week’s chemical weapons incident for which western powers have blamed the Syrian government’s forces. Members of the group revealed that the casualties were the result of an accident caused by gunmen mishandling chemical weapons provided to them by Saudi Arabia.

“From numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, armed group fighters and their families, many believe that certain gunmen received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the deadly gas attack,” writes Gavlak.

According to Watson, Gunmen told Gavlak that they were not properly trained on how to handle the chemical weapons or even told what they were. It appears as though the weapons were initially supposed to be given to the Al-Qaeda offshoot Jabhat al-Nusra.

“We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” one of the gunmen named ‘J’ told Gavlak.

His statements are echoed by another female fighter named ‘K’, who told Gavlak, “They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them. We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”

Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of an “opposition fighter”, also told Gavlak, “My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” describing them as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.” The father names the Saudi gunman who provided the weapons as Abu Ayesha.

According to Abdel-Moneim, the weapons exploded inside a tunnel, killing 12 gunmen.

Watson said Gavlak wrote in his report that more than a dozen gunmen interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government.

If accurate, this story could completely derail the United States’ rush to attack Syria.

According to Watson, Dale Gavlak’s credibility is very impressive. He has been a Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press for two decades and has also worked for National Public Radio (NPR) and written articles for the BBC News.

Saudi Arabia’s role in providing armed groups, whom they have vehemently backed at every turn, with chemical weapons, is no surprise given the revelations earlier this week that the Saudis threatened Russia with terror attacks at next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi unless they abandoned support for the Syrian government.

“I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us,” Prince Bandar told Vladimir Putin, according to the Telegraph.
