Hacked Emails Reveal ‘Washington-Approved’ Plan to Stage Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria

Alleged hacked emails from defense contractor Britam
reveal a plan “approved by Washington” and funded by Qatar to stage a
chemical weapons attack in Syria and blame it on the Assad regime,
fulfilling what the Obama administration has made clear is a “red line”
that would mandate US military intervention.
The leaked emails, obtained by a hacker in Malaysia, feature an exchange (click here for screenshot) between Britam Defence’s Business Development Director David Goulding and the company’s founder Philip Doughty;
PhilWe’ve got a new offer. It’s about Syria again. Qataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the idea is approved by Washington.We’ll have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have. They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.Frankly, I don’t think it’s a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?
Kind regards
David
The fact that the plan involves delivering a CW
(chemical weapon) that is “similar to those Assad should have,” clearly
suggests that the idea is to stage a false flag chemical weapons attack
that could be blamed on Assad by Gulf states like Qatar and NATO powers.
If the claim that such as plot was “approved by
Washington” can be verified, then the Obama administration is complicit
in a war crime.
According to Cyber War News,
which details the process of how the emails were hacked and includes
screenshots of the leaked documents, the hack also uncovered, “extremely
personal information,” including copies of passports of Britam
employees, some of whom appeared to be mercenaries.
A full list of all the hacked documents can be found here.
Online business profiles confirm that both David Goulding and Philip Doughty work for Britam Defence.
Last year, reports began to circulate that
that US-backed rebel fighters in Syria had been given gas masks and
were willing to stage a chemical weapons attack which would then be
blamed on the Assad regime to grease the skids for NATO military
intervention.
Soon after in August, President Barack Obama warned that
the use or even transportation of chemical weapons by the Assad regime
would represent a “red line” that would precipitate military
intervention. French President Francois Hollande followed suit, stating that the use of such weapons “Would be a legitimate reason for direct intervention.”
At around the same time, a source told Syrian news channel Addounia that
a Saudi company had fitted 1400 ambulance vehicles with anti-gas &
anti-chemical filtering systems at a cost of $97,000 dollars each, in
preparation for a chemical weapons attack carried out by FSA rebels
using mortar rounds. A further 400 vehicles were prepared as troop
carriers.
The attack would be blamed on the Syrian Army and
exploited as an excuse for a military assault. A March 2012 Brookings
Institution report entitled Saving Syria: Assessing Options For Regime Change outlined this very scenario – where a manufactured humanitarian crisis would be cited as justification for an attack.
Yesterday, Israel’s vice premier Silvan Shalom told reporters that
if Syrian rebels obtained chemical weapons from stockpiles belonging to
the Assad regime, such a development would force Israel to resort to
“preventive operations,” in other words – a military strike on Syria.
In December, a shocking video emerged
of Syrian rebels testing what appeared to be a form of nerve gas on
rabbits, bolstering claims that the rebels had already obtained chemical
weapons.
As Tony Cartalucci also highlights,
“Mention of acquiring chemical weapons from Libya is particularly
troubling. Libya’s arsenal had fallen into the hands of sectarian
extremists with NATO assistance in 2011 in the culmination of efforts to
overthrow the North African nation . Since then, Libya’s militants led
by commanders of Al Qaeda’s Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) have armed sectarian extremists across the Arab World, from as far West as Mali, to as far East as Syria.”
Last month, 29 different US-backed Syrian opposition
groups pledged their allegiance to Al Nusra, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated
group which, as the New York Times reported, “killed numerous American troops in Iraq.
Numerous reports confirm that Al Nusra is the leading front line fighting force in Syria and
is commanding other rebel groups. Given their prominent role, allied
with the fact that the terror group has been responsible for numerous
bloody attacks in Syria, the notion that the Obama administration would
approve a plot that could see chemical weapons fall into the hands of
Al-Qaeda terrorists could represent a foreign policy scandal even bigger
than Benghazi-Gate.
In a related story, the Syrian Electronic Army, a separate hacktivist group, continues to release hacked files and emails from numerous sensitive foreign ministry and military websites belonging to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, including emails sent between these countries.
