Reuters: Chemical weapons experts enter site of attack in Syrian town
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Global chemical weapons inspectors finally reached the Syrian town on Tuesday where a suspected poison gas attack took place, days after the United States, Britain and France launched missile strikes to punish Damascus for it.
Syrian state television reported that the experts from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons had entered Douma, where Western countries say scores of civilians sheltering from bombs were gassed to death on April 7.
France said it was very likely that evidence of the poison gas attack was disappearing before the inspectors could reach the site. Syria and its ally Russia deny that any chemical attack took place.
Douma is now in the hands of government forces after the last rebels withdrew just hours after U.S., French and British forces fired more than 100 missiles to hit three suspected chemical weapons development or storage sites.

WNU editor: Too much time has passed since the attack. I am sceptical that they will be able to find evidence that can produce a conclusion that everyone will be satisfied with.

If there really all of the civilian casualties that the jihadis claimed there were that can't be hidden because there'd be a few thousand eyewitnesses who would be able to describe evidence consistent with a chemical attack. They would already be talking, but so far, no such people have come forward. All the reports on the ground, and they aren't just Russian, indicated that there's simply no evidence, no eyewitness accounts, no nothing. In other words, it never happened and was a hoax ginned up by the jihadis and their supporters in the West who are getting more desperate for regime change in Damascus. So, if the inspectors don't find anything, maybe because there's really nothing for them to find.
Here's one report from a journalist actually there in Douma:

And here's Lord West, former chief of the Royal Navy, saying that the scenario painted by the US, UK and french governments just doesn't ring true:

Foaming mouthed civilians, piles of deceased, etc. Has to have been filmed in Hollywood. It's easy to tell. Everyone knows.

and those bombed out gas sites that US just wiped out were also faked?
How do we know that Trump actually ordered a strike against something that did not exist?
and Lord West also said this, which, at this site was denied by a number of trollsters
Russia and Putin have denied any involvement, ignoring a deadline set by the PM to explain the situation, and responding with a warning not to threaten "a nuclear power".
Admiral West suggested Skripal's attempted murder was linked to the former Soviet State because of the specific Russian nerve agent used.
He went on to claim Putin would have known about the attempted murder all along.
Putin has apparently been pouring millions of dollars into the Russian military, claiming the country has unstoppable nuclear weapons.
