MEDICAL staff and eyewitnesses who testified at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) headquarters on today reinforced claims that an alleged chemical attack in Syria was staged.

The 17 eyewitnesses appeared in front of the OPCW in the Hague with all of them confirming there had been no use of toxic materials in Douma on April 7 and that the case had been fabricated.

They included Hassan Diab, the 11-year old who appeared in the widely circulated video footage which claimed to show victims of a gas attack.
