Chemical attack in Idlib was stage-managed by U.S. - Syrian parliament speaker
MOSCOW. April 13 (Interfax) - The chemical attack in Idlib province was stage-managed by Washington, according to Hadiya Khalaf al-Abbas, the Speaker of the People's Council (parliament) of Syria.
"The United States of America has decided to raise the fighting spirit of terrorists, to revive their strength, and to this end, they played out this spectacle with chemical weapons. It was a well-prepared and well-played-out show that various media outlets also took advantage of. Both the video and stories were fabricated," al-Abbas said at a meeting at the Russian Public Chamber on Thursday.
"In particular they showed various images of children passing them off for those killed just now. In reality these were photos and videos made two years ago elsewhere," the Syrian speaker said.
