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 even Russia’s idea in the first place.
How is it that AP knows so much about Russian war bombings and know nothing about Uranium deals in the USA and do not have any proof of hacking?
I was talking to a guy the other day who said he knew someone who’s sister was dating a guy who heard . . .
Careful we have Putin apologists about
Seriously, why come up with this type of CRAP? Maybe to explain why there's no hard evidence of specifics of the chemical “attack”?
Anyhow, consider me VERY SKEPTICAL.
This Senior US Official gives nothing but speculation and no information.
Who is this Senior US Official? Postmaster General? Commissioner of the IRS? Director of the FBI?
This article tells us nothing.
Yes, now I’ll be labelled a PUTIN apologist by the “true believers”.
Maybe the “senior US Official” is McCain or Little Lindsay Graham?
“... maybe even Russia’s idea in the first place.”
Maybe. That’s tellin’ ‘em.
“Maybe the “senior US Official” is McCain or Little Lindsay Graham?”
Maybe.
I would like to read some real reporting. This maybe stuff breeds conspiracy theories.
Where are all the fact checkers? How could bombing a hospital after a known release of poison gas possibly “cover up” the release? And how does the mere presence of a drone rule out false flag? Are we to believe that the Israelis are eavesdropping Putin and Assad, or photographing movements of poison gas cannisters? Yes? — Let’s see the tapes.
Great photo shop, dude. Wow, how’d you do that, man?
Deep state leaking, trying to get Trump into war with Russia.
That is a hard story to concoct, I think the false flag crowd are full of it.
Don’t think daddy Assad helped bomb our marines in 1983? http://articles.latimes.com/1988-10-23/news/mn-348_1_marine-barracks
Big time. Like the German American Bund in the 1940s. Facts don’t matter. They so pro putin that they embrace vile and cruel c**ts like the assad. Weird. Definitely not pro American.
The source is anonymous. From the posts I see on here the fact that the source is not named automatically makes it fake news.
WTH can’t ANYONE own a statement? If one is not allowed to say anything why don’t they just STHU? How can an administration run with blabber mouths?
Not pro-Saudi for sure!
Bomb Riyadh!
