UN Report Confirms Armed Terrorist Groups Used Sarin Gas, Says Foreign Ministry

DAMASCUS,(ST)_Syria has said that the final report of the United Nations mission on claims of chemical attack is a conclusive evidence of the successive failures of the destructive project that targets the country and it confirms that the armed terrorist groups have used Sarin gas.

A spokesman for Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said today that the final report presented by Professor Ake Sellstrom is eye-to-eye with what the government said about the armed terrorist groups’ use of Sarin gas in Khan al-Assal and in some sites in Ghouta.

It added: “The report brings to mind, once again, what Syria has repeatedly said that it has not used chemical weapons against its people.”

The spokesman made it clear that the UN mission has neglected more than 40 allegations fabricated by the US, France, Britain and their tools in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey to cover the crimes of terrorists from al-Qaeda and al-Nusra Front and others.

It cited that Syria’s enemies have failed to black out the Syrian government’s full cooperation with the mission.

“Regrettably, these countries and the parties that colluded in the conspiracy on Syria have not only hindered the investigation- for which Syria had called since March 20, 2013- for five months but also put the final report aside and continued supporting terrorist groups and criminals,” the spokesman said.

Press Israel to join CWC

It added that the report must push these countries to enhance the dimensions of the historic decision taken by the Syrian leadership to voluntary join the Chemical weapons Convention (CWC) to press Israel, which has all types of weapons of mass destruction, to join the CWC and to put its establishments under international observation.

“What is needed now from these countries is a faithful work to make Geneva 2 conference on Syria successful through international effort that mainly aims to halt terrorism in Syria and not to cover up al-Qaeda-linked terrorists,” the spokesman said.

It asserted that terrorism poses threat to region and the whole world as well.

It is noteworthy that the UN final report was released on December 12, 2013.
