Almost a year ago, a group of pro-Assad academics in England organized
as the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media and led by the
odious Tim Hayward posted a report on their website written by former
OPCW (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) employee Ian
Henderson that was a highly technical rebuttal to the official report,
which concluded that dozens of Syrians living in Douma were killed by
gas released from a weaponized chlorine tank dropped by a regime helicopter.
Delivered as a series of bullet points, Henderson’s report concluded:
In summary, observations at the scene of the two locations, together
with subsequent analysis, suggest that there is a higher probability
that both cylinders were manually placed at those two locations rather
than being delivered from aircraft.
That “manually placed” could have only meant one thing. Even though
Henderson stopped short of stating it, it was left to the pro-Assad
academics to state it for him. This was a “false flag” intended to
provoke American intervention. Not only did they conclude that jihadis
planted the chlorine tanks, they also killed dozens of Douma residents
beforehand to make the false flag plausible: “As we have previously
noted, if the Douma attack was staged the only plausible explanation for
the deaths of the victims is that they were murdered as captives by the
opposition group in control of Douma at the time.”
