Khan Sheikhoun Chemical Attack (2017 Sarin Gas Attack in Syria)
The Khan Sheikhoun Chemical Attack occurred on Tuesday April 4, 2017, in Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun, Idlib province, an area on the Turkish border mostly controlled by al-Qaeda affiliated rebels. According to White Helmet activists (an al-Qaeda affiliated group funded by George Soros[1]) on the scene, at least 86 people were killed in the Assad regime chemical attack, and hundreds more needed medical attention for respiratory problems and other severe injuries.
International condemnation
On Wedenesday 5 April, the United States, Britain and France proposed a draft resolution blaming Damascus for the chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun. However, talks of a joint action ended without a vote after Russia rejected the proposed resolution, calling it "categorically unacceptable."
In the aftermath of the attacks widely reported in Mainstream media, US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson reported on Thursday April 6 that "there is no doubt in our minds, and the information we have supports that Syria, the Syria regime under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad are responsible for this attack." [2] He also cautioned Kremlin to "consider carefully their continued support for the Assad regime."
Fears of a False flag attack
Many Alternative Media sites have questioned why Syrian President Bashar al-Assad would be so strategically reckless as to order a chemical weapons attack and incite the wrath of the world given that he is closer than ever to winning the war against ISIS and jihadist rebels.
According to former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, the chemical weapons attack in Khan Sheikhoun that reportedly killed 30 children and has led to calls for US military intervetione in Syria, could have been a False flag attack.[3]
Russian stance
In response,the Kremlin issued a statement saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin found it "unacceptable to make groundless accusations against anyone without conducting a detailed and unbiased investigation." [4] and requested access to sites in Khan Sheikhoun the day after the attack.
