米政府のシリア化学兵器攻撃証拠文書（1）　http://goo.gl/UBfhks　8月21日に体制側が使ったことを確認した高官の通話を盗聴、21日午後に「攻撃」停止の命を受けたシリア化学兵器担当者の情報を把握というが、録音テープなどの詳細はなし。

We intercepted communications involving a senior official intimately familiar with the offensive who confirmed that chemical weapons were used by the regime on August 21 and was concerned with the U.N. inspectors obtaining evidence. On the afternoon of August 21, we have intelligence that Syrian chemical weapons personnel were directed to cease operations.

In the three days prior to the attack, we collected streams of human, signals and geospatial intelligence that reveal regime activities that we assess were associated with preparations for a chemical weapons attack.

"The reported symptoms, and the epidemiological pattern of events ? characterized by the massive influx of patients in a short period of time, the origin of the patients, and the contamination of medical and first aid workers ? were consistent with mass exposure to a nerve agent."

“MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack,” said Dr. Janssens. “However, the reported symptoms of the patients, in addition to the epidemiological pattern of the events?characterized by the massive influx of patients in a short period of time, the origin of the patients, and the contamination of medical and first aid workers?strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent. This would constitute a violation of international humanitarian law, which absolutely prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons.”
