Jaafari also said Syria does not possess any chemicals weapons, including chlorine, that was allegedly used over the weekend in Douma. Bashar Al-Jaafari made the remark at a U.N. Security Council meeting in New York.
Syria's U.N. representative also stressed that Syria unequivocally condemns the use of chemical weapons anywhere and under any circumstances. He noted that Syria has submitted 144 letters containing information pertaining to a number of terrorist groups that have access to toxic chemical substances and dangerous chemicals. Al-Jaafari also claimed the terrorists were collaborating with White Helmets to fabricate evidence and to create staged dramatic scenes, in order to mislead the public, and turn public opinion against the government of Syria.
Moreover, Jaafari forthrightly accused Washington, Paris, London and their allies of supplying weapons to terrorists and preparing aggressions against Syria.
Last Saturday, mainstream Western media and a number of Syrian opposition media outlets, citing militant sources, claimed the Syrian army used chlorine in the town of Douma, injuring hundreds and killing 40 to 70 individuals. Syria has categorically rejected the Western media claims.
The Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria on Sunday categorically refuted the reports. The Center's representatives visited the place of the alleged attack and questioned local doctors, who said they had not received any individuals with symptoms of chemical poisoning.
