The head of the largest medical relief agency in Syria claims that medics who responded to the suspected gas attack in Douma have been subjected to extreme intimidation by Syrian officials who seized biological samples, forced them to abandon patients and demanded their silence.
Dr Ghanem Tayara, the director of the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organisations (UOSSM) said doctors responsible for treating patients in the hours after the 7 April attack have been told that their families will be at risk if they offer public testimonies about what took place.
A number of doctors who spoke to the Guardian this week say the intimidation from the regime has increased in the past five days, a timeframe that coincides with the arrival in Damascus of a team from the Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which aims to determine whether chemical weapons were used. All the medics insisted on anonymity, citing the fear for their lives and those of their families.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone....
Al Qaeda doctors have their own union...who knew?
...A cylinder of the type used by the Syrian military to drop chlorine remains on the roof of the building, multiple witnesses have said. The Russian military and Syrian officers have had access to the house since last Thursday, raising fears that the site may have been tampered with. However, Smith said it was likely that residual samples of nerve agent would remain for at least another week, even after an attempted clean-up....
***************************************************************
Jeez, the rebels just a week ago release a picture of a cylinder laying neatly on an uncollapsed, bed still neatly made.
...A former senior officer in the Syrian military chemical weapons programme, Brig Zaher al-Saket, who deserted in 2013, said Douma residents he worked with had buried close to 50 bodies in an undisclosed site in the area, hoping that they could be eventually recovered and used to confirm suspicions that some form of nerve agent was used in the attack....
**********************************************************************
So, the rebels have essentially hid the bodies of people who had supposedly been killed by nerve agents so they are now NOT available for autopsy and forensic analysis. How convient!
How much you wanna bet the good Doctor is posing with an ISIS flag on his Facebook page?
Lol...he’s located in Birmingham UK so he must also be clairvoyant.
Typical Brit-fag propaganda.
Nothing that the Manchester Guardian publishes is believable, even if happens to be true.
Guardian are big warmongers on Syria. ignore them.
Syria is not about Syria. Syria is about Iran.
no, the war in Syria was started by the Wahabbi Sauds and Qataris and supported byt he Salafi-bent Erdogan of Turkey. They wanted to replace the secular dictator with an IslamicDictator.

Yes, but why? Because they, and the US and Israel, see Syria as a proxy for Iran and Hezbollah primarily, and as a proxy for Russia secondarily. Iran is the center of Shiite political and military power.
saudia needs to spread wahabbism globally - they've already moved Sunnis from Pakistan to nigeria away from Hanafi, Sufi etc. schools towards Salafiidom. They want to destroy the Shia and then everyone else
