Russia slams US blame game over UN Syria chemical attack report : Syria has given Russia new material evidence that Syrian rebels used chemical weapons

Syria has given Russia new material evidence that Syrian rebels used chemical weapons in an attack on 21 August, a Russian minister has said.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also said a report by UN inspectors on the alleged use of chemical weapons was politicised, biased and one-sided.

He said the inspectors had only investigated the attack in Ghouta on 21 August, not three previous incidents.
