Saudi black op team responsible for Damascus chemical attack Russian diplomatic source5 October, 1:02
August 21 chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus, Syria, were orchestrated by a team of Saudi Arabian black operations team, according a Russian diplomatic source.
0"Based on data from a number of sources a picture can be pieced together. The criminal provocation in Eastern Ghouta was done by a black op team that the Saudis sent through Jordan and which acted with support of the Liwa Al-Islam group," a source in the diplomatic circles said.
0This attack came to complicate an already delicate situation in Syria, another source said.
0"Syrians of various political views, including some opposition fighters, are seeking to inform diplomats and members of international organizations working in Syria what they know about the crime and the forces which inspired it," the source said.
0Liwa Al-Islam is an Islamist armed group had already taken responsibility for bombings during secret governmental meeting in July 2012. Back then Syrian officials were killed including Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, his deputy Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani.
0Earlier reports pointed to Saudi Arabia as the mastermind behind the chemical attack, which almost led to US military action against Syrian government. Supporters of this scenario say intelligence services in Riyadh were looking for a false flag operation to provoke an American intervention in Syria, which would tip the balance of power in favor of the armed opposition supported by Saudi Arabia.
0Syria maintains that the rebel forces were behind the attacks and Russia shares this conviction too, calling the incident a provocation, while the Westen countries tend to blame the Syrian government for this incident.
0According to an earlier UN the report, none of the environmental samples the UN collected in Western Ghouta tested positive for Sarin, while biomedical samples, taken from affected people, all tested positive.
0At the same time, there have been concerns that witnesses the UN team spoke to were brought by the opposition from different regions and did not live in Western Ghouta. Angela Kane, UN high representative for disarmament affairs, who has just returned from Damascus says:
0"I think it is not possible to say We brought them all from a different area. To my mind that is inconceivable. You can come up with the theory, but this does not mean the theory is correct."
0"Dead body can't tell you anything. The dead body can't tell how the person dies, how the person was affected, how the person suffered. A living person can tell you that," Kane said.
0The OPCW team will start conducting tests on October 7.
0Saudi Arabia group behind chemical weapons provocation in Syria - source
0A group sent by Saudi Arabia from Jordanian territory is responsible for the August 21 chemical weapons provocation that was staged in the Eastern Ghouta suburb of Damascus, said Russian diplomatic sources.
0"Having analyzed this information, which was received from a whole range of sources, we are getting a picture that confirms that the criminal provocation in Eastern Ghouta was committed by a specialized group that was sent by Saudi Arabia from the territory of Jordan and acted under the cover of the Liva al-Islam group," one of the sources said.
0Another source said that "the chemical attack on Eastern Ghouta on August 21 and all the subsequent developments literally caused a stir in Syrian society, and people reacted painfully to the distorted interpretation of those events given by a number of media outlets and politicians."
0"That is why Syrians whose political views differ dramatically, including the opposition's militants themselves, are actively trying to tell everything they know about this crime and the forces who masterminded and sponsored it to diplomats and international organization officials who continue working in Syria," he said.

0Moscow and Damascus contact each other daily on chemical weapons destruction Syrian minister
0Moscow and Damascus discuss details of the Syrian chemical weapons destruction plan almost daily, Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi said in an interview with the RIA Novosti news agency.
0We maintain permanent, almost daily contact concerning those details, he said.
0The minister pointed out that a special interdepartmental group had been set up under the Syrian government to decide how exactly the countrys chemical arsenals would be eliminated.
0Whether to destroy chemical weapons on the scene or take them out to other countries for scrapping will be determined by experts and the interdepartmental group which was formed by the Syrian government and comprises representatives of the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry. Its a technical issue, al-Zoabi said.
0Syria chemical weapons: used by terrorists, smuggled to Iraq Russian FM
0Russia has evidence that chemical weapons components are used by terrorists in Syria and smuggled into Iraq for possible provocations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday, reports VoR's Polina Chernitsa.
0"We read reports and hear from various sources, semi-official and trustworthy, that some official representatives of a number of the countries of the region surrounding Syria allegedly established contacts and meet regularly with leaders of Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist groups, and also that those radicals have some components of chemical weapons maybe found in Syria or maybe brought from somewhere, and not just on the Syrian territory, but also that chemical weapons components have been brought to Iraq and that provocations are being prepared there, Lavrov said at a news conference following talks with Indian Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid.
0All that has intensified after the UN Security Council passed a Russian-US-proposed resolution on Syrias chemical weapons and the Geneva-2 conference, the Russian minister said.
0Sponsors of Syrian opposition should stop attempts to disrupt Geneva-2
0Sponsors of the Syrian opposition should stop attempts to disrupt the Geneva-2 international conference on Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday.
0There are enough provocateurs, and there will probably be more provocations. Whats important now is that it shouldnt be them who calls the tune but Russia and the United States as the initiators of Geneva-2 along with the United Nations secretary general to whom a request to that effect was submitted in New York, Lavrov said.
0He urged all the Syrian forces to agree to attend Geneva-2 without preliminary conditions in keeping with the Geneva communique signed last June.
0Those who sponsor and finance the Syrian opposition should realize their responsibility and stop attempts to disrupt preparations for the conference in a bid to reanimate a military scenario, Lavrov said.
0Syrians are able to agree implementation of Geneva communique
0Russia hopes that the Syrians will be able to find common ground on the implementation of the June 30 2012 Geneva Communique, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters in Moscow.
0He reiterated calls for the Geneva-2 international conference on Syria to be convened in the nearest future.
0We hope that consultations that are now being conducted by the UN secretary general and his special representative, Lakhdar Brahimi, will produce positive results enabling us to organize initial events needed to launch this conference. Its important that all the Syrian factions be fully represented at the talks for the future agreements to be really stable and lasting, Lavrov said.
