Western media are putting on a ?chemical show? fueled by carefully crafted messages that pin the blame on Damascus for the alleged use of chemical weapons, Russia?s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has said in response to the rebels? latest claims of toxic gas attacks by Syria?s government.
On Saturday, the Failaq Al-Rahman group, an Islamist Syrian rebel cell affiliated with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) accused Damascus of discharging chlorine gas in two neighborhoods of the Eastern Ghouta region, where the rebels are engaging Syrian government forces.
The statement produced on behalf of the FSA is nothing more than a "testament" of the official disinformation campaign which has already been launched against the government of Syria, Maria Zakharova said in her Facebook post Monday night.
