Could you ask him to call me?
nizagara on line On 20 June a four-page top secret cable summarising what had been learned about al-Nusra???s nerve gas capabilities was forwarded to David R. Shedd, deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. ???What Shedd was briefed on was extensive and comprehensive,??? the consultant said. ???It was not a bunch of ???we believes???.??? He told me that the cable made no assessment as to whether the rebels or the Syrian army had initiated the attacks in March and April, but it did confirm previous reports that al-Nusra had the ability to acquire and use sarin. A sample of the sarin that had been used was also recovered ??? with the help of an Israeli agent ??? but, according to the consultant, no further reporting about the sample showed up in cable traffic.
