"The discovered substances, such as thiodiglycol and diethanolamine, are
necessary for the production of sulfur and nitrogen mustard gas. In addition, a
cylinder with chlorine, similar to that used by militants for setting up the
wide-spread fake story, was found in the warehouse. It can be concluded that
this laboratory was used by illegal armed groups for the production of poisonous
substances,” Rodionov said, as quoted by the Zvezda TV channel.
On Saturday, the United States, the United Kingdom and France launched 103
missiles on multiple targets in Syria before the results of the investigation of
the case by the experts of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons. The attack has already been slammed by a number of countries, including
Russia and Iran.
Meanwhile, the OPCW fact-finding mission was deployed to Syria to probe the
allegations of a chemical attack last week. However, on Monday, OPCW
Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu said that the mission had not reached Douma yet as
Syrian and Russian officials informed it that there were still pending security
issues.
