Syria has rejected any involvement in a chemical attack earlier this year, and accused the U-S and the U-K of supplying toxic agents to terrorists in the Arab country.
Faisal Mekdad said the toxic agents found in the cities of Aleppo and Damascus were produced by British and American companies. He added that terrorists had loaded hand grenades and rounds for grenade launchers with C-S and C-N toxic agents. The Syrian deputy foreign minister noted that supplying terrorists with such banned substances violates Article 5 of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Mekdad added that an international chemical weapons delegation will visit Syria in the coming days. Several chemical attacks, including an April suspected Sarin gas attack, have happened in Syria in recent years. Damascus has blamed foreign-backed militants for carrying out the attacks.
