WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 04th September, 2018) Nusra Front terrorists (banned in Russia) as well as the Syrian government have the ability to produce weaponized chlorine, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said in a press conference on Tuesday.
"I have been saying, and I confirm my thinking that the government on the one hand and al-Nusra [on the other], which is an organization declared terrorist by the [UN] Security Council, are having the capability to produce weaponized chlorine," de Mistura told reporters.
The envoy underscored that chlorine has "unique horrible capacity of being on the gray zone between what is considered a chemical attack and not."
Russia's Defense Ministry has recently warned that the leader of the Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group, which is affiliated with Nusra Front, is planning a chemical attack against civilians in the Syrian Idlib province in order to provoke western nations into retaliating against Damascus.
