Gareth Porter, an independent investigative journalist and historian writing on US national security policy, discusses two new revelations
that contradict the Trump administration’s certainty that a Syrian
airstrike using sarin gas deliberately targeted civilians in Khan
Sheikhoun on April 4th. First, a former US official claims that the
Russians informed their US counterparts of plans to strike a warehouse
in Khan Sheikhoun 24 hours in advance, and advised that toxic chemicals
were held there. Second, MIT Professor Theodore Postol says that the
weapon casing alleged to have held the sarin gas was an improvised
dispersal device detonated on the ground, and was not air-delivered.
