<\/a>As with any crime when you want to ascertain who the culprit is the first question to be asked is: who benefits?<\/h5>\nIn the case of the suspected nerve gas attack in Syria, the Syrian government would gain absolutely nothing from the atrocity. If anything it would be counterproductive; alienating President Assad’s domestic supporters and giving clear propaganda points to the Western sponsored rebels.<\/h5>\nMoreover, as others have pointed out, if the Syrian government forces were intent on defeating the al-Qaeda-linked opposition then why would they launch an alleged nerve gas attack on women and children rather than opposition fighters?<\/h5>\nIt defies logic. All the more so as the Syrian government forces have been gaining ground <\/span>recently<\/span><\/a> in their offensive against the militants.<\/h5>\nNo, the only real beneficiaries from last week’s suspected nerve gas attack are the Western-sponsored militants. Just as Syrian government forces were on their way to inflicting a decisive defeat on the militants, the alleged use of nerve gas by the Syrian government has opened up the very real prospect of Western military intervention to prevent that.<\/h5>\nSo not only would the Syrian government gain absolutely nothing from using chemical weapons against their own people, it would also save the “Syrian opposition forces” from impending defeat.<\/h5>\nThe timing and location of the attack also seem to defy reason. Coming just three days after a team of United Nations chemical weapon<\/span>s experts<\/span><\/a> checked into a hotel in Damascus, a few kilometres from the site of the chemical weapons attack.<\/h5>\nEven if we ignore clear indications that Syrian government forces <\/span>wouldn’t benefit<\/span><\/a> from the nerve gas attack, or United Nations investigator’s claims to have found evidence that opposition forces used<\/span> Sarin<\/span> <\/a>earlier this year, this still ignores the questionable nature of some of the other<\/span> evidence<\/span><\/a> pointing to Syrian government involvement.<\/h5>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/mailsyria777-300x198.jpg\" "\\"Mail")
