Last week, the fact-finding mission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons [OPCW] visited a site in the Damascus suburb of Douma to collect samples in connection with the alleged April 7 chemical attack.

OPCW Finds No Chemical Weapons at Syrian Facilities Bombed by US

In this respect, Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the Russian General Staff Col. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy announced that the OPCW confirmed that there were no chemical weapons found at the Barzeh research center in Damascus despite the US officials' claims.

He further noted that thousands of people could have died if there was any chemical weapon on the sites that were attacked by the US-led coalition.

"Immediately after the attacks, many people who worked at these destroyed facilities and just bystanders without any protective equipment visited them. None of them got poisoned with toxic agents," Rudskoy added.

He said the logic of strikes on alleged facilities with toxic agents in Syria was unclear, because if toxic agents had theoretically been stored there, tens of thousands of people would have died after the cruise missile strikes.
