U.S. secretary of state, John Kerry, said Thursday that the United States believes that the regime of Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against the population on at least two occasions, without elaborating. The rebels, however, spent months complaining about the use of these weapons, especially sarin, and VX nerve agent in Syria. Early indications collected in December the cable from the State Department, in which witnesses have said that Assad had used chemical weapons, which then dismissed.
Independent experts have been unable so far to obtain conclusive evidence of the alleged attacks. UN experts have failed to enter the country to collect samples (soil, blood, tissues or urine) can prove the allegations.
The incident light, and that has attracted international attention, is that of the Asal Khan, in the province of Aleppo, on March 19. It was the regime that initially accused the rebels of having used a projectile loaded with chemicals. 26 people died and 100 were injured. Numerous witnesses reported a strange gas then how caused eye irritation and respiratory problems in an area around the point of impact of the missile.
The official news agency Sana then distributed photos of the incident, with doctors attending to wounded. Opponents protested strongly, accusing the regime have used the chemical agent on them and have tried to incriminate. What was obvious to U.S. intelligence and the arsenals israelíera Assad were still in the custody of his Government, and none of them had fallen into the hands of the rebels.
Independent estimates Assad has at least 1,000 tons of chemical weapons, the largest arsenal in the Middle East. Above all, has sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, in addition to cyanide, stored in at least 17 different points of the country, all in the custody of the Army.
Another complaint of the rebels by chemical weapons arrived on March 25. Then publicly accused the regime of having chemical weapons directed against them from multiple rocket launchers, when around a military base in the town of Adra, near Damascus. Two militants were killed and at least 23 others were injured, according to a tally of opposition groups themselves. Several witnesses told the Israeli daily Haaretz then the agent employee "was a type of phosphorus that attacks the nervous system and causes loss of balance and fainting".
That same day, the ambassadors of France and the United Kingdom to the UN sent a letter to the Secretary General that they had sufficient evidence claimed that Assad had used chemical weapons and the Asal Khan and the Ataybah villa near Damascus, six days before, and in Homs on December 23. Adduced as evidence eyewitness interviews and analysis of ground at points of attack. Yesterday, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army in Turkey said he has given "evidence" to "independent observers", without elaborating.
The December 23 attack had been collected in a classified cable from the U.S. State Department. "We can not say so at 100%, but several Syrian contacts that the agent explained convincingly XV was employed in Homs on December 23," said the memo, sent by a U.S. consul in Istanbul to Washington and then filtered to the press. Subsequently, State Department sources denied that the agent had been used XV.
The April 13 airstrike came. The opposition accused the regime of having fired shells loaded with nerve agent from planes in Aleppo. Two children were killed and a woman. At least 16 people were injured. This time, someone could record it. Niazi Dr. Habash, who treated the wounded, posted a video online where he sees injured with symptoms of suffocation, constricted pupils, and above all, foaming at the mouth.
The organization Human Rights Watch released a report on April 11, in the four cases which demonstrate firebombs launching an ersatz napalm or napalm and white phosphorus. Occurred in the cities of Daraya and Babila (both in the province of Damascus), Maarath Al Numan (Idlib) and Qusseir (Homs). They documented these cases through interviews with four witnesses and videos provided by the opposition and analyzed by specialists and academic experts, but the organization ensures that no direct evidence in its possession. The attacks occurred between November and December last year.
From Red Cross, Julie Furier, one of the technicians who coordinates the work with refugees in Amman, said that they can not make sweeping assertions "because what comes is inconclusive". "We do get photos and videos and see the refugees when they arrive with injuries, but not hot treat symptoms, we can not know what agents have been implicated. However, we consider the cases that come and demanding the Syrian government not to use chemical weapons against the population. "
Mohamed Adra, a contributor to the Local Coordination Committees at the Turkish border, admits that they have not been out of the country "ammunition or projectiles or leftover caps" that allow them to support its allegation of use of chemical weapons. The people inside the country says that doctors "have never seen a wound like that," in areas such as Homs and Idlib, especially. Insists on the difficulty to maintain "stable chain of custody" to give credence to their complaints.
Analysts are supposed strange regime's strategy of attacking the rebels with small doses of chemicals. "It makes little sense, because chemical weapons historically have been used in considerable quantities, to cause large numbers of casualties," he said in a telephone Ralf Trapp, a renowned expert in chemical weapons disarmament.
