Russia’s UN ambassador has said they have evidence to show that it is likely that Syrian rebels, fighting the Syrian government, used missiles with sarin gas.
Vitaly Churkin said that the results came from an independent investigation as requested by Damascus.
"The results of the analysis clearly indicate that the ordnance used in Khan al-Assal was not industrially manufactured and was filled with sarin.
"The projectile involved is not a standard one for chemical use. Hexogen, utilised as an opening charge, is not utilised in standard ammunitions. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that it was armed opposition fighters who used the chemical weapons in Khan al-Assal."
