In reply to the discussion: EXCLUSIVE: Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack [View all]cheapdate
(3,811 posts)An independent reporter was told by some locals that he interviewed that the rebels were given chemical weapons:
They didnt tell us what these arms were or how to use them, complained a female fighter named K. We didnt know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.
The father of one of the rebels spoke of weapons "provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha". The father described the weapons as having a tube-like structure while others were like a huge gas bottle.
It's not a secret or a revelation that the Saudi's, like the Iranians and others, are deeply involved in Syria.
I'll neither dismiss this report from Dale Gavlak, nor afford it any more weight than it deserves. He talked to some locals. They made some claims.
