Nigel Farage claims Syrian rebels carried out chemical attack last summer

 "Only the Syrian and Russian governments suggest that the Syrian government did not fire chemical weapons at Ghouta."

 And Nigel and sections of what used to be the Western Left.

 This, from an expert of Syrian Islamism, is worrying,

 Thomas Pierret:
"(1) 8/21 CW attack in Damascus was response to rebel inroads esp. in Jobar.
(2) today rebels are progressing in Jobar again and Syr amba to UN warns against false CW attack by rebels in Jobar.
(3) conclusion : Asad probably ready to use CW again to prevent rebels from reaching Abbassid square"
