Russia says it has proof Britain took part in ‘staged’ Syria chemical attack

AFP — The Russian military says that it has proof that an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta was staged on orders from London.

Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov says the military has “proof that testifies to the direct participation of Britain in the organizing of this provocation in Eastern Ghouta.”

He says Britain had told the White Helmets, who act as first responders in rebel-held areas, to fake the suspected chemical attack in the town of Douma.
