    In August 2013 the Irish republican dissident group Óglaigh na hÉireann was blamed for planting a Katyusha-style rocket in undergrowth next to a field near Cullyhanna in South Armagh in an area used by soldiers on training exercises. The weapon was to be triggered using a mobile phone.

    US accuses Syrian government of fresh chemical weapon attack

    State department says it will respond ‘quickly and appropriately’ if use of chlorine is proven

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-weapon-attack
    To date, these claims have been proven fake. The Syrian government is in almost total control of all of its territory. Chemical weapons use ? Just how stupid do you need to be to swallow such guff.

    there is a real possible reason however:
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-weapon-attack
    The alleged attack occurred on Sunday on the border of Idlib province, where in recent weeks the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, has stepped up an air and ground campaign that has killed at least 150 people and displaced more than 200,000 from their homes.

    A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the Syrian government had a history of resorting to chemical weapons when fighting intensified. The official, however, was not aware of any confirmation of what substance was allegedly used, if at all, in Sunday’s incident in Kabana, and said the US government was still gathering information.

    ' Katyusha ' is now a general term. Besides, who said it was a rocket at all ? Once you start believing these accounts without thorough, independent, investigation you are simply being sucked into the war plans.

    White Helmets ? I thought they'd all gone back to Florida.

    i can't disagree..

    US is investigating and sez no confirmation it was a rocket..

    But on the other hand, the reason Assad has resorted to barrel bombs is because of lack of traditional munitions
    I assume the chlorine was dispersed by such or shells because of the similar lack during this current offensive

    Assad isn't short of anything. The ' gas' claims have always been a stitch-up in order to ' justify ' US intervention. Putin knew that. Trump knew that. The 50 -odd Cruise missiles fired in ' response ' hit nothing.
