Use of British chemicals in Syria poison gas 'likely'
BRITISH chemicals and equipment are likely to have been used to make poison gas by the Syrian government, the Foreign Secretary admitted yesterday.
William Hague said records showed a number of companies exported legal substances to Syria between 1983 and 1986 that can be used in the production of chemical weapons.
In 2003 legal ventilation fans were shipped to the regime, which the government also believes were used.
