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.
