Alwaght- Two major terrorist groups are planning chemical attacks in areas under their control, including Daraa’s district of Al-Balad and blame it on the government forces, a senior Russian defense official has revealed.
"The ringleaders of al-Nusra Front and the Free Syrian Army, which are acting together, are plotting explosions of makeshift chemical charges containing chlorine in a number of areas under their control, including Al Balad in Daraa," the chief of Russia’s center for the reconciliation of conflicting parties in Syria, Major-General Yuri Yevtushenko, said on Friday.
Tip-offs about preparations being made for provocations in the south of Syria, including the use of chemical warfare agents, Yevtushenko said, had been received from the group Jaish Ahrar Al-Ashair, which has taken the government’s side.
Yevtushenko said "the militants plan to photograph and video the alleged effects of chemical weapons and show the clips to the public at large to blame government troops for civilians casualties, as well as to provide excuses for their own actions to disrupt ceasefire in Daraa."
The equipment for catching phony chemical attacks on camera is already in place and other preparations are on, he said.
Pundits believe, US' Syria policy is encouraging false flag chemical attacks and putting the blame on government forces to create pretext to Washington’s military intervention and thereby prolonging the conflict.
