Syria says UN report on chemical attack 'a falsification'

Syria said today a United Nations report accusing it of using sarin gas in an attack on the town of Khan Sheikhun in April was a "falsification of the truth".

"Syria categorically denies the content of the joint report between the UN and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons," a foreign ministry statement said.

"This report and the one that preceded it are falsifications of the truth and distort the exact information on what happened at Khan Sheikhun".
