Syrian rebels blame the regime for the chemical weapon attack

Share:

A Syrian rebel commander denied state media reports on Tuesday that opposition forces were behind a chemical weapon attack in Aleppo, saying the government had fired a rocket with chemical agents on the town of Khan al-Assal.

“We were hearing reports from early this morning about a regime attack on Khan al-Assal, and we believe they fired a Scud with chemical agents. Then suddenly we learned that the regime was turning these reports against us,” said Qassim Saadeddine, a senior rebel and spokesman for the Higher Military Council in Aleppo. “The rebels were not behind this attack.”

        ya know, the rebels are a fanatical islamic maffia; the most dangerous thing is when a maffia starts to get organised into officers like when geagea started to organise his maffia into officers like the army; this accelerated its disappearance
