OPCW Says Failed to Confirm Nerve Agents Used in UK's Salisbury, Amesbury From Same Batch

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) could not confirm that the nerve agents used in the attacks in the the Salisbury and Amesbury incidents in the United Kingdom were from the same batch, the organization's report said on Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 04th September, 2018) The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) could not confirm that the nerve agents used in the attacks in the the Salisbury and Amesbury incidents in the United Kingdom were from the same batch, the organization's report said on Tuesday.

"Due to the unknown storage conditions of the small bottle found in the house of Mr Rowley and the fact that the environmental samples analysed in relation to the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal and Mr Nicholas Bailey were exposed to the environment and moisture, the impurity profiles of the samples available to the OPCW do not make it possible to draw conclusions as to whether the samples are from the same synthesis batch," the report said.
