Syria said that French intelligence agencies orchestrated the deadly chemical attack in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta to divert UN weapons inspectors from another incident carried out by militants in Aleppo.

Syria’s Al-Jaafari: France behind Ghouta Poison Gas Attack

On August 21, 2013, hundreds of people were killed in a Sarin gas attack in Ghouta, a massacre that UN inspectors call "the most significant confirmed use of chemical weapons against civilians since Saddam Hussein used them" in Halabja in 1988.

Syrian opposition groups and their western allies claim the nerve gas attacks were launched by the Syrian government.

However, Damascus rejects the allegation, saying the attack was carried out by militants operating inside the country to draw in foreign intervention. Subsequent investigations by the UN and Russia backed Syria's assertions.

During a Monday UN Security Council meeting over the Syrian conflict, Damascus's envoy to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari said, "The use of chemical weapons in the Damascus area was meant to prevent Dr. Åke Sellström [the head of the weapons inspectors] from going to Aleppo because [France] knew who had used chemical weapons in Aleppo."

"They wanted to prevent Dr. Sellström from reaching Aleppo by any means and therefore they used chemical weapons in Damascus with the involvement of French intelligence," he added.

French representative to the council, François Delattre, said that allegations were "absurd."

Damascus surrendered its stockpiles of chemical weapons to the joint mission led by the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons following the attack outside the Syrian capital two years ago.

STRATEGIC MOTIVE OF GHOUTA MURDERERS

According to my information, the Ghouta attacks were mainly as a pretext for a 'surge' by all NATO's cannibal hordes. nsnbc reported this trigger was announced to them by their handlers after the victory at al-Qusayr in July 2013, and big ammo shipments promised for this surge, to be done after the SAA bases were bombed and Syria rendered vulnerable. The Khan al-Assal gas attack was in March and that site was thus old ground for forensics. Even at many Ghouta victims' death scenes, no sarin was found. Most of the children were murdered by the 'mourners' shown in the videos, and they have never been found.
