U.S. Shoots Down Secret Report That Syria Used a Hallucinogen Weapon:
"The State Department is publicly discounting claims made by its own diplomats
about a chemical weapons attack in Syria.
On Tuesday, Foreign Policy detailed a secret and previously unknown cable from
the U.S. consulate in Istanbul which came to the explosive conclusion that Syrian
government forces dropped a hallucinogen known as “Agent 15″ on rebels in the
town of Homs on December 23.
But less than a day later, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland has
denied the report, saying that the Foreign Policy story ”did not accurately convey
the anecdotal information that we had received from a third party regarding an
alleged incident in Syria in December.”
