“Foreign
specialists” have arrived in Syria and may stage a chemical
attack using chlorine in “the next two days,” the Russian
Defense Ministry said. This will be filmed for international media to
frame Damascus forces. Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor
Konashenkov said the operation is planned to unfold in the village of
Kafr Zita in Syria’s northwestern Hama Province in “the next
two days.”
Konashenkov
said that “English-speaking specialists” are already in
place to use “poisonous agents.” While a group of
residents from the north has been transported to Kafr Zita and is
currently being prepared “to take part in the staging of the
attack” and be filmed suffering from supposed “‘chemical
munitions’ and ‘barrel bombs’ launched by the Syrian government
forces.”
The
groups of residents will be used to assist “fake rescuers from
the White Helmets.” They will be filmed apparently suffering
from the effects of chemical weapons and then be shown in “the
Middle Eastern and English-language media.”
The
defense ministry earlier warned that the US, UK, and France are
preparing to use the planned attack as a pretext for airstrikes
against Syria. The USS The Sullivans, an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis
guided missile destroyer, was already deployed to the Persian Gulf a
couple of days ago.
On
August 22, US National Security Adviser John Bolton stated that “if
the Syrian regime uses chemical weapons, we will respond very
strongly and they really ought to think about this a long time.”
Russian
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov earlier warned that the US is
not finished looking for pretexts for regime change in Damascus.
In
April, the US, UK, and France unleashed a bombing campaign on Syria
in response to an alleged gas attack in Douma, which the West blamed
on Bashar Assad’s government. The operation started hours before a
team from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
(OPCW) was due to reach the city.
