Syrian president Bashar al-Assad says the suspected April 4th chemical-weapons attack on a Syrian village was a fabrication to justify a United States strike on his forces.


The Syrian government has stepped up its campaign to deny the alleged April 4th chemical-weapons attack on the village of Khan Sheikhoun ever happened.

World leaders have condemned the deaths of 86 people from the suspected attack on the northern, opposition-held village.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has told Agence France-Presse in an interview the video evidence of choking victims is fake.
