US denies Syrian claim of targeting chemical depot in Deir Ezor
2017-04-14
[ALMASDARNEWS] Spokesman of the US-led coalition, Colonel John Dorrian, denied a claim made by the Syrian government that coalition Arclight airstrikes bombed a chemical depot for the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor.
Coincidentally...
"The Syrian claim is incorrect and likely intentional misinformation," Colonel Dorrian told Rooters.

In a related context, the Russian Ministry of Defense said it has dispatched drones to probe on the incident.

"We have no information of so far about victims killed in an Arclight airstrike near Deir Ezzor. Three Russian drones have been sent to follow up the situation, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, front man of the Russian MoD, said.

The Syrian Defense Ministry has issued an official statement earlier today accusing the US coalition of targeting a chemical depot for the terror group which resulted in the death of hundreds of snuffies as well as civilian.
