WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senior U.S. official says the United States has concluded that Russia knew in advance of Syria's chemical weapons attack last week.
The official says a Russian-operated drone flew over a hospital in Syria as victims of the attack were rushing to get treatment.
Hours after the drone left, a Russian-made fighter jet bombed the hospital in what American officials believe was an attempt to cover up the usage of chemical weapons.
Until Monday, U.S. officials had said they weren't sure if the drone was operated by Russia or Syria. The senior official said it still wasn't clear who was flying the jet that bombed the hospital.

Maybe you’re a quisling.
It doesn’t matter to these assad/putin apologists. assad helped al Qaeda types kill Americans. They do not care. Their love of putin and RT is eternal, fixed, and an irrational faith. As long as the USA helps assad/putin, they’re happy.
Ya, seems like the leftish news has a never ending supply of “official anonymous sources” doesn’t it.
Pro iran/pro-putanistan.
Riyadh is going to burn.
Don’t cry. It’ll be ok. Just help Lindsey pick up his purse.
Oh, I’m to believe you, Hanoi Jane?
Riyadh High School Class of 2009.
ISIS reunion next Tuesday night at the Beheading Hall. Don’t miss it.
What does any of this have to do with attacking jihadi rebels? Why are our efforts there not sharply focused against jihadis?
That’s your history? Gees, you’re for any tyranny you can find.
Donald doesn’t fly off the handle quickly. If Russia is at the bottom of this, things will chill.
Tyranny like Trump support? Geez Lindsey you really have lost your mind.
BOMB RIYADH!
Because they are not sharply focused, period.
It doesn’t matter to these assad/putin apologists. assad helped al Qaeda types kill Americans. They do not care. Their love of putin and RT is eternal, fixed, and an irrational faith. As long as the USA helps assad/putin, they’re happy.
Putin needs Syria. Not Assad. Will be interesting to see what happens when Putin tosses Assad into the dust bin of history. I suppose our local Putinists won’t miss a beat and we’ll never hear again how wonder Assad is, how he saving Christians, etc., etc.
In the fog of war attack a friend just to show what a bad ass you are.
Maybe Russia is as cornfused as we are.
This could be dangerous right now,
Why would a “senior U.S. official” release such a controversial statement/story just 36 hours before Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is scheduled to arrive in Russia?
Sorry but what you just made was a false assumption. Just because a source doesn’t release their name does not make the statement or report false.
“Careful we have Putin apologists about”
Riyadh rinsers are temporarily ascedant.
People who don't buy the "Hillary lost because Russia hacked the election" story aren't "Putin apologists"... they just have common sense.
Resist the FAKE NEWS!!! When I heard McDowell McDonald’s whatever his name is from MNBC spew this insane lunacy conspiracy line, immediately I knew that was their new talking points for the upcoming months!! All they needed was for one globalist filthy rag to cook it .. and sure enough like clockwork every FAKE NEWS outlet ran with it!!
Iran convicted in 911; most of the hijackers were there ahead of time but if you want to pull for the Assads who have killed Americans, it’s a free country.

The russian pansies are powerful against little kids; they don’t fight real men. Probably looking for little boys for Vlad.
