While the Syrian government is the largest stockpiler of chemical weapons in the world, the opposition has them too. Now infamous video has allegedly shown rebels killing rabbits with ad hoc mixtures of chemicals procured from Turkey. Reports have acknowledged chemical weapons depots have also been seized. On Aug. 23, LiveLeak.com hosted an audio recording of a phone call broadcast on Syrian TV between a terrorist affiliated with a rebel militia in Homs, Syria, and his Saudi Arabian boss, identified as “Abulbasit.” The phone call indicates rebel-affiliated terrorists in Syria, not the Assad government, launched the chemical weapons attack in Deir Ballba in the Homs, Syria. One of some 14 alleged chemical attacks pinned on President Assad. World Net Daily hosts a litany of YouTube videos showing rebels handling chemical ordinance and alleged nerve gas missiles.

[...] In a breaking article by long time Associated Press middle east correspondent Dale Gavlak he notes: “From numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families…many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the (deadly) gas attack.” 26 rebel fighters lost their lives in Ghouta and according to Gavlak its because these fighters weren’t properly trained in handling the weapons. According to one resident of Ghouta his son who fights for the rebels “and 12 other rebels were killed inside of a tunnel used to store weapons provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha, who was leading a fighting battalion. The father described the weapons as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.”
