July 9, 2013 - 21:29 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia's UN ambassador says Russian experts have
determined that Syrian rebels made sarin nerve gas and used it in a
deadly attack outside Aleppo in March, The Associated Press reports.
International analysts say a March 19 chemical weapon attack occurred
in the Aleppo suburb of Khan al-Assal. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin
blamed a Syrian rebel group linked to al-Qaeda for the attack, but
the rebels have blamed the government.
Churkin said Tuesday, July 9, after delivering an 80-page report
to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that samples taken on site at the
invitation of the Syrian government showed that the sarin gas was
"not industrial" quality, but rather produced recently in "cottage
industry" conditions.
