A British journalist who interviewed a doctor in the Syrian town of Douma claims he told him there was no evidence of a chemical attack.
Dr Assim Rahaibani, 58, said the video showing children gasping for breath - which triggered the weekend bombing campaign by the UK, US and France - is genuine.
But he explained to Robert Fisk, writing for the Independent, that patients were overcome not by gas but by oxygen starvation in the rubbish-filled tunnels and basements in which they lived, on a night of wind and heavy shelling that stirred up a dust storm.
Donald Trump and Theresa May seized on the video as evidence that Syria's President Bashar al-Assad had crossed a 'red line' in his fight against jihadi forces that have all but been removed from their strongholds in the war-torn country.
Chemical weapons inspectors will be given access to the site on Wednesday (April 18).

Robert Fisk is a notorious pro-Muslim anti-American (and generally anti-West) reporter. His reporting out of Lebanon was one-sided. He was the first Western reporter to interview Osama Bin Laden after the Saudi appeared in the Sudan in 1991 and was an apologist ever after. Trust what he writes at your own risk.
This is a retelling of the same “report” by Fiske, a long time Leftist “journalist” for the Leftwing U.K. rag, the Independent, and conjoins with Fiske’s history of decades of anti-U.S., anti-Israel animus writing from the Middle East. The most hard he has been on Assad is well yes his troops are not all good, but whose are.
Russia and Syria say they didn’t use Chemicals...Trump says they did...
Who to believe?????
*********
Many of us want to decide based on a thorough investigation of all the evidence, rather than “Who do you believe?”
“”And didn’t even wrinkle the covers””
What do you see that’s not clearly a mess on that bed? It’s something you’d want to crawl into?
In a place like Syria, “evidence” can be made to cover whatever someone wants it to be...Especially when it’s a week after the alleged attack...
Still posting your crap, Noob.
Go back to your Dem friends and peruse DU.
It starts with Robert Fisk. Look up the term “Fisking”. He and Christann Amanpour are the Fake News all stars..
OAN has a reporter on site with the same story. No gas attack.
