Russian Federation told the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday there was no point establishing a new inquiry to determine blame for chemical weapons attacks in Syria because the United States and its allies had already acted as judge and executioner.

A fact-finding mission from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is due to visit the site of the suspected gas attack.

The last rebels abandoned the town on Saturday, hours after the USA -led missile strikes, leaving government forces in control of the site of the suspected chemical attack.

The chief of the global chemical weapons watchdog says it remains unclear when a team of its experts can visit the Syrian town of Douma to investigate an alleged deadly chemical weapon attack.

But the United States officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the available intelligence indicated that Assad's stock of chemicals and precursors was believed to be scattered far beyond the three targets.

On Saturday, the US, the United Kingdom and France launched missile strikes on a number of targets in Syria in response to the alleged chemical incident in the Damascus suburb of Duma. A odd smell lingered, nine days after the attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after the US, British, and French strikes in Syria his country will continue "to move against Iran in Syria".

Alabama-Notre Dame home-and-home set for 2028-29
Added Alabama head coach Nick Saban: "We are excited to be able to add a home-and-home series with a team like Notre Dame". The Crimson Tide have won two more national titles since that game, while Notre Dame hasn't won a championship since 1988.

Despite Russia's negative response against this attack, the USA ambassador the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has made it clear that the President is prepared to attack again if necessary and that the United States is "locked and loaded".

These attacks occurred in a rebel-held suburb east of Damascus named Douma.

Experts arrived in Damascus on Saturday, but they have been unable to visit the nearby town of Douma because of "security issues" cited by Russian Federation. Most of the missiles were downed, a Syrian military official said.

Under the agreement, the rebels are allowed to move with their families to opposition-held areas in the country's north, effectively surrendering their turf to Syrian government forces.

But the assessment also indicated that a large quantity of the chemical weapons was stored elsewhere and that Syria's chemical weapons programme, while crude, "is about as good as it needs to be for Assad's purposes", another official said.

The leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States and European Union said in a joint statement early Tuesday that they condemn the April 7 chemical attack in eastern Ghouta in Syria. Global chemical weapons inspectors were expected to visit the site on Wednesday, but the visit has now been postponed and it is unknown when it will take place.

There was no comment from the OPCW or the United Nations on Wednesday.
