It is strange that the Western media are muted regarding Carla del Ponte's opinion, especially the latest one.

"They want to show that they will not ignore the UN Security Council. It is even possible to predict the situation's further development. If the resolution proposed by London is rejected, the United States and the United Kingdom will insist that they are certain that they are correct and that it is necessary to strike Syria," Pushkov said.

Western mass media has ignored the statement made by Carle Del Ponte, a member of the UN committee investigating human rights violations in Syria, Pushkov said. "The statement of Carla Del Ponte was made on August 26 and is withheld by the 'free' western media because it undermines the task of justifying the military strike," he said.

Carle Del Ponte said that experts had not yet found any evidence that the Syrian authorities used chemical weapons and witnesses' testimony showed that insurgents were responsible for the chemical weapons attack, the Syrian Internet portal Suriya al-Ain reported on Wednesday.

The international commission has yet not found any proof that the government forces used chemical weapons, the portal quoted Carla Del Ponte.

Meanwhile, Syria's envoy to the UN presented his government's case against any attack and claimed that the rebels have launched three new chemical attacks against the Syrian military, asking the UN to investigate those areas where it claimed the attacks took place. Damascus's insistence that the rebels were behind the gas attack on August 21 in a Damascus suburb that killed hundreds has been flatly rejected by the US yet somewhat endorsed by a member of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria, Carla del Ponte, who has twice - on Monday as well as May 6, 2013 - stated there is evidence that the rebels have used sarin gas.
