Russian military says US-led forces are preparing ‘chemical weapons’ provocation in Syria’s Deir Ezzor
The
US-backed Free Syrian Army and the US Special Operations Forces are
preparing a “chemical weapons” provocation in the Syrian province
of Deir Ezzor, Major General Igor Konashenkov said on June 11.
According
to Konashenkov, the US-led forces are going to stage a “chemical
attack” in the village of Haql al-Jafara to accuse the Syrian
government of conducting it. Balloons with chlorine gas are allegedly
already delivered to the area.
“According
to the information confirmed through three independent channels in
Syria, the command of the so-called ‘Free Syrian Army’ aided by
the forces of the US special ops units are preparing a serious
provocation involving chemical warfare agents in the Deir ez-Zor
province,” Konashenkov said.
“After
being published in western media a staged video is set to initiate a
missile strike on Syria’s state facilities by the US-led coalition
and justify an offensive operation by militants against Syrian
governmental forces on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River,”
he added.
Konashenkov
added the Russian Defense Ministry warns that the use of such
provocations for destabilization of the situation in Syria is
unacceptable.
