Syria: Chemical attack a false flag, says Russian minister
RUSSIA’S Syria peace negotiator claimed yesterday that Moscow could prove last month’s alleged chemical weapons attack was a false-flag operation.
“Russia has all the irrefutable evidence that this is a pure provocation on the part of individuals and structures that are not interested in achieving peace on Syrian soil,” Alexander Lavrentyev said, without elaborating.
France has previously claimed it has proof of the Syrian government’s guily. Neither country has revealed its evidence.
