H.E. Bashar Ja'afari, Syria's ambassador to the United Nations, held an hour long press conference today at UN headquarters in New York where he complained of "fraudulent accusations" against the Syrian government that it has used chemical weapons against the Syrian people. He said that such charges leveled at his government, including those based on unreliable intelligence assessments, lacked "any corroborated facts" and reminded him of the unfounded weapons of mass destruction charges leading up to the Iraq war in 2003.
