White House Disproves Russia's Claims That Assad Did Not Launch The Chemical Attack In Syria

The White House announced a newly declassified information that disproves Russia's claims that President Assad had nothing to do with the chemical attack in the northern part of Syria during Palm Sunday services. According to a senior official, the terrorists are not responsible for the said attack, given the fact that the group does not have sarin gas. He also emphasized the information declassified that indicates no evidence of an explosion but of "leakage" that occurs after dropping the chemical weapons.

That said, the US official noted that Russia is trying to cover up what really took place in Syria, expressing as well his doubts over Syria's capability to have chemical weapons. Nevertheless, the senior official reveals a strong possibility that Syria may have more agents elsewhere. Incidentally, Syria was in an agreement back in 2013, which states that the country would give up a huge amount, including a huge effort to eradicate and destroy this, InformnNY reported.

The US Is Not Going Into Syria
