yaSalam - Syria telah bersetuju untuk membenarkan 3 tapak menjalani penyiasatan oleh pasukan kimia senjata PBB pakar-pakar untuk menilai sama ada tuduhan bahawa negara ini bekerja alat-alatnya dalam 2 tahun perang saudara di negara ini dilakukan mana-mana badan.
"Misi ini akan pergi ke Syria sebagai secepat mungkin untuk contemporaneously menyiasat tiga insiden yang dilaporkan, termasuk Khan al-Asal," pejabat akhbar Setiausaha Agung PBB Ban Ki-moon memberitahu Reuters dalam satu kenyataan.
Syria berpendapat bahawa pemberontak yang bertanggungjawab untuk beberapa penggunaan senjata kimia di rantau ini manakala pemberontak menuduh kerajaan memainkan peranan. Awal bulan ini, Rusia menyerahkan kepada UN analisis sampel yang diambil di Aleppo, di mana senjata kimia didakwa telah digunakan pada bulan Mac.
Penemuan Rusia menunjukkan bahawa ia adalah pemberontak - bukan tentera Syria - di sebalik kejadian Khan al-Ada Band, di mana lebih daripada 30 orang mati.
Amerika Syarikat menimbulkan keraguan kepada analisis Rusia. “Kami telah mengemukakan satu set lengkap dokumen-dokumen (ke PBB). Itu lebih daripada 80 muka surat, termasuk gambar-gambar dan koordinat geografi yang tepat (tempat di mana sampel telah diambil), prosedur dan keputusan, " Menteri Luar Rusia Sergey Lavrov berkata.
Syria to allow UN chemical weapon investigators to explore three sites
yaSalam - Syria has agreed to let three sites undergo investigation by a team of UN chemical weapons experts to assess whether the accusations that the country employed the devices during the country’s two year civil war carried any weight.
“The Mission will travel to Syria as soon as possible to contemporaneously investigate three of the reported incidents, including Khan al-Asal,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's press office told Reuters in a statement.
Syria contends that rebels were responsible for some chemical weapons usage in the region while the rebels accuse the government of playing a role. Earlier this month, Russia submitted to the UN its analysis of samples taken in Aleppo, where chemical weapons had allegedly been used in March.
Russia’s findings indicated that it was rebels - not the Syrian army - behind the Khan al-Assal incident, in which more than 30 people died.
The United States cast doubt on the Russian analysis. “We submitted a full set of documents (to the UN). That’s over 80 pages, including photographs and precise geographic coordinates (of places where samples were taken), procedures and results,” Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pointed out.
