BEIRUT, Aug 21 (Reuters) – Syria’s military command denied
opposition reports that the army had used chemical weapons on
Wednesday against districts east of Damascus, saying they were a
sign of “hysteria and floundering” by President Bashar
al-Assad’s opponents.
The denial was issued by an officer speaking on state
television. Information Minister Omran Zoabi said the
allegations were “illogical and fabricated”.
