A SENIOR correspondent has told German state broadcaster ZDF that the alleged chemical attacks in Syria were likely to have been faked.

In a report from the ground, veteran reporter Uli Gack said on Sunday night that “the Douma chemical attack [was] most likely staged, a great many people here seem very convinced.”

He explained that he had interviewed many people in Douma who dismissed reports of the alleged attack that was used as a pretext for the launch of missiles by Britain, France and the US on April 14.
