WikiLeaks Documents Provide Further Evidence of OPCW Corruption on Syria Chemical Arms

Dec. 27, 2019 (EIRNS)—WikiLeaks today posted further leaked documents from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) that further document the corruption of its investigation into the alleged gas attack in Douma, Syria in April 2018. This was the set-up for President Donald Trump to react by a targetted bombing of Syria.

One of the documents is an exchange of emails on Feb. 27 and 28 of 2019, in which Sébastien Braha, Chief of Cabinet at the OPCW, instructs that the now-famous engineering report authored by Ian Henderson must be purged from the OPCW’s archives. Henderson had concluded that the gas cylinders that were allegedly the source of the gas attack had been manually placed at the scene rather than being dropped from aircraft, as had been charged. Henderson’s conclusion was omitted from the OPCW’s final report on the Douma incident.

A second document posted today is the minutes of a June 6, 2018 meeting of toxicology experts in which they discussed the differences between the symptoms of exposure to chlorine gas and the symptoms actually exhibited by the alleged victims of the attack. “With respect to the consistency of the observed and reported symptoms of the alleged victims with possible exposure to chlorine gas or similar, the experts were conclusive in their statements that there was no correlation between symptoms and chlorine exposure,” the document reports.

The documents released today, as well as earlier document releases, can be found here on WikiLeaks’ website under “OPCW Douma Docs.”
