The BBC’s article, " US and UK insist UN chemicals report ‘blames Syria’ ," again states unequivocally, [emphasis added]: The UN report did not attribute blame for the attack , as that was not part of its remit. However, that did not stop UK Foreign Secretary William Hague who claimed: From the wealth of technical detail in the report – including on the scale of the attack, the consistency of sample test results from separate laboratories, witness statements, and information on the munitions used and their trajectories – it is abundantly clear that the Syrian regime is the only party that could have been responsible.
Before parroting predictable Western talking points, the Telegraph attempts to flesh out their new character, describing him in their article, " Syria: Assad cannot be trusted on any chemical weapons promises, says his former diplomat ," as: Mr al-Ayoubi is an ethnic Kurd who joined the Syrian diplomatic service in 2001. He came to London as second secretary at the Syrian embassy in February 2011 but was made charge d’affaires in May last year after his predecessor was booted out of the country in response to the massacre committed by Syrian forces in Houla. The Syrian ambassador, Sami al-Khiyami, had been withdrawn in the March that year.
