Syria Bombing. Your Opinion?

Assad says chemical attack in Syria was '100% fabricated'

'The Syrian leader claims footage of dying children was "propaganda", adding that
the US is "hand-in-glove with the terrorists".

Syrian President Bashar al Assad says a deadly toxic gas attack widely blamed on his
forces is a "100% fabrication".

Speaking in his first interview since the incident, Mr Assad said he gave "no order to
make any attack" and claimed "even if we had (chemical weapons) we wouldn't use them".

The Syrian leader said it was unclear who carried out the attack in the rebel-held town of
Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April, which killed more than 80 people.

He added that videos showing children dying from the attack were "propaganda" designed
to prompt the retaliatory US missile strike two days later.
Mr Assad told AFP TV: "It's not clear whether it happened or not, how can you verify a video?

A Syrian man receives treatment following the chemical attack in Idlib province.

There are a lot of fake videos now. "We don't know whether those dead children were killed
in Khan Sheikhoun. Were they dead at all?

"Our impression is that the West, mainly the United States, is hand-in-glove with the terrorists."

He added he would only allow an investigation into the attack "when we make sure that unbiased
countries will participate in this delegation in order to make sure that they won't use it for politicised
purposes".

On Wednesday, Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding a probe, prompting
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson to say Moscow had put itself "on the wrong side of the argument"...'
