| Syrian Envoy: Chemical Weapons Can't be Tolerated |
| 2013-05-02 |
| [An Nahar] Syria's U.N. ambassador said Tuesday that the use of chemical weapons is not only "a red line" but "a blood line" that cannot be tolerated and again demanded a U.N. investigation of an alleged chemical weapons attack in Aleppo that it blames on rebels. Bashar Ja'afari said at a news conference that his government has bodies and other proof that chemical weapons were used in Khan al-Assad in Aleppo on March 19 and it wants this incident investigated first. The rebels blame the government for the attack. Ja'afari said Damascus ...The place where Pencilneck hangs his brass hat... is demanding details of another alleged chemical weapons attack that Britannia and La Belle France say was carried out by the government in Homs on Dec. 23 before it will even consider allowing U.N. experts to conduct an investigation in that city. He disclosed that Qatar also sent a letter to the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... "claiming the use of chemical weapons in other parts of Syria," without giving dates or locations. Pressed by news hounds, Ja'afari declined to confirm that Syria has chemical weapons. "The Syrian government has always emphasized that the Syrian government will not use, if it possesses any, chemical weapons on its own people," he said. He added, "The use of chemical weapons in Syria and elsewhere in the world is not only a red line, it's a purple line, it's a blood line, and nobody is tolerated or will be tolerated to use such horrific weapon of mass destruction." |
