CNN: Syrian military negotiations are intercepted about the preparation of Himakaki

American intelligence intercepted the negotiations of the Syrian military with chemical weapons specialists on the eve of the use of Zarin in the city of Khan Sheikhun. It is reported by CNN with reference to high -ranking American officials. The wiretap "leaves no doubt" in the guilt of Bashar al -Assad, noted in the Pentagon.

The intercepted data was part of the disorders that gather in Syria and Iraq, the source explained. Washington did not know about the upcoming chemical attack in advance, since the volume of wiretapping is very large, the materials were not processed immediately. However, after it became known about the incident in the province of Idlib, intelligence immediately began to study the available data in order to establish the perpetrators of the attack.

At the same time, American intelligence does not yet have data on involvement in the preparation of the Russian intelligence attack or the military. The source of the channel in this regard noted that "the Russians are much more careful in their communications to avoid interception."

But even if there is a firm confirmation of Russian complicity, it is not known whether the Pentagon or the White House will decide to make this information public, the interlocutor of CNN noted.

On Thursday, the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in an interview with the AFP agency called the chemical attack in Khan-Sheikhun "one hundred percent fabricated." Assad claims that his army does not have chemical weapons, and a chemical attack was staged to become an occasion for an American missile blow.

On April 4, Khan-Sheikhun, located in the province of Idlib, underwent a chemical attack . Bombs with poisonous gases, allegedly Zarin and chlorine were thrown into the city. More than 80 people were killed, including children.

On Tuesday, a senior employee of the American administration told the Associated Press that, according to the Pentagon, the Russian side knew about the upcoming use of Zarina. Immediately after the spraying of poisonous substances in Khan-Sheikhun, a Russian drone was seen over the local hospital, and a few hours later the building bombed a Russian-made plane. Washington believes that the bombing was an attempt to hide the consequences of a chemical attack.

On Wednesday, Russia imposed a veto on the draft resolution of the UN Security Council , condemning the chemical attack of Bashar al-Assad to Khan-Sheikhun. It was the eighth case for six years of the Civil War in Syria, when Moscow, applying the right to veto, tore the adoption of a document on the situation in the Middle Eastern country. China, which usually took the side of Russia, this time abstained.

During the discussion of the project of the US Permanent Representative to the UN, Nikki Haley warned the Russian side: "You are isolating yourself from the international community whenever Assad’s aircraft dumps a new barrel bomb on civilian, and every time Assad begins to stem the hunger of the inhabitants of the next terrain."

On Thursday, Sana, the official news agency of the Bashar al -Assad regime, said that the coalition led by the United States bombed the chemical weapon warehouse of the Islamic State, as a result of which hundreds of people, including civilians, died from poisoning. It was claimed that the raid was committed on Wednesday to the village of Khatl east of Deir ez-Zor. A “white cloud rose above the terrain, which then turned yellow as a result of the explosion of a huge warehouse, which stored large volumes of poisonous substances,” the publication says.

Meanwhile, independent sources do not mention the attack.
