UN: 'Rebels, not government, used chemical weapons in Syria!'

"... Del Ponte, a member of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, also said that the inquiry had not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical weapons, which are banned under international law."Our investigators have been in neighbouring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated," she said in an interview with Swiss-Italian television. "This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities," she added."
