Syrian Rebels Apparent Chemical Weapons Lab found in recently Liberated Rural area Near Ghouta
Thanks to George E Mills Jr for this link:
This is the most important and the best thought out recent piece on the situation in Syria I have found and what it reveals is staggering as it shows that the Radical Islamic Jihadists (whom the American media insists on labeling "rebels") had the capacity to carry out attacks with chlorine gas: (GEM Jr.)
From the article:
"Last month Narwani filed a report after visiting tracts of farmland in Eastern Ghouta that Army of Islam militias had recently abandoned. As she noted, no Western correspondent had been anywhere near the place. This is still the case. What she found there was a chemical laboratory. Here is some of what she wrote, not quite a month before the Army of Islam’s final rout:
The chemical facility lies only a few dozen meters away from the current military frontline and was liberated as recently as Monday. [This would have been March 12.] The lab is surrounded by farmlands — the last place one would expect to find this stash. I see fields of wheat, green peas, beans and chickpeas scattered liberally in a conflict area Western media dubs a “starvation siege.” The building itself is shell-pocked and littered with debris, like so many of the structures I pass in Shifouniyeh and other towns in Eastern Ghouta where war rages.
But the sight inside is astounding. Upper rooms packed with electronic hardware, basements outfitted with large boilers, shelves filled with chemical substances, corners heaving with blue and black canisters (reportedly containing chlorine), chemistry charts, books, beakers, vials, test tubes and all the paraphernalia familiar to the average student of science. And then, in several corners, piles of pipe-shaped projectiles — clear munitions of some sort.
There’s one real standout in an upper room of the facility. It’s a newish looking piece of equipment with “Hill-Rom Medaes Medplus Air Plant” written on its front. A cursory Google search pulls up several interesting facts immediately — the machine is some kind of air or gas compressor, it’s a US-manufactured product, and Saudi Arabia put out tenders for this device in 2015."
