Iran Press/Europe: Militants in the Syrian province of Idlib are getting ready for a false flag chemical weapons attack, the head of the Russian Centre for Reconciliation in Syria, Major General Viktor Kupchishin said on Friday.
According to Russia's MoD, agents of France and Belgium are cooperating with terrorist leaders in Idlib province, RT reported.
The attack is being prepared in close cooperation between operatives of Belgian and French intelligence agencies, and terrorist groups, including the re-branded Syrian Al-Qaeda offshoot – Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS, previously known as Al-Nusra Front). The White Helmets group is also taking part in preparations for the false flag attack.
A batch of poisonous gas, believed to be chlorine-based, has been already delivered to a number of villages in Idlib province. The poison is packed in canisters disguised as oxygen and natural gas tanks, according to the Russian military.
The plotters have discussed the filming of the upcoming false flag attack and are expected to manipulate video footage of a recent Russian strike on a drone warehouse in Idlib to prove Moscow’s involvement.
While the actors are offered some $100 for playing the roles of chemical attack victims, there’s a distinct possibility that the militants will poison people for real to make the video more 'lifelike' the official warned.
It’s not the first time Russia has warned about a false flag attack involving chemical weapons in Syria, revealing details to the general public and media.
In the past, terrorist groups have staged chemical incidents in Khan Sheikhoun and eastern Ghouta, and have accused the government in Damascus of carrying out a chemical attack against its own population.
Last September, the Russian military issued a string of warnings of an imminent false flag attack in Idlib, accusing the notorious "White Helmets" group of being behind it.
Evidence has shown the Western-backed White Helmets aid group is a branch of the al-Nusra Front, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The attack would be used by the West to launch – again – airstrikes on Syrian government troops, according to Moscow. The incident, however, never happened – probably since it was exposed beforehand. 101/211/205
