DISINFO: Terrorists plan to stage a chemical attack in Syria’s Idlib province
SUMMARY
Major provocations are being prepared in Syria. The terrorists intend in the near future to stage a chemical attack in the village of Ketyan in the north-east of Idlib province. The militants are traditionally going to accuse the government forces of using prohibited weapons against civilians, in order to once again cause "serious concern" from the Western states.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about chemical attacks as well as recurring disinformation narrative deflecting blame for chemical attacks from the Assad regime. No evidence is given to support the allegation.
Read here similar cases claiming that the intelligence services of France and Belgium are preparing a false-flag chemical attack in Syria’s Idlib province, in coordination with local terrorist cells and the White Helmets group; that the White Helmets are organising a false flag provocation in Idlib, Syria, or that terrorists plan false flag chemical attacks in Syria.
The German NGO GPPi has collected data on 349 confirmed incidents with use of various types of chemical weapons. In almost all the cases, Syrian regime forces can be tied to the attacks.
