US intel assessment based on ‘terrorist lies’ and
‘media hype’ - Syrian Foreign Ministry
The intelligence assessment the US administration presented as evidence that the Syrian government deployed chemical weapons on its own people is baseless and based on “terrorist lies” and “media exaggeration,” Syrian foreign ministry sources say.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said during a speech Friday that US intelligence had determined “with high confidence” that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was responsible for killing hundreds of people in a chemical weapons attack last week.
While US officials cannot determine for certain that Assad forces launched the assault, Kerry did say it claimed the lives of 1,429 Syrians, including no less than 426 children.
“Our high confidence assessment is the strongest position that the US Intelligence Community can take short of confirmation,” a government report read in part. “We will continue to seek additional information to close gaps in our understanding of what took place.”
