Poison Gas
Britain sent poison gas chemicals to Assad: Proof that the UK delivered Sarin agent to Syrian regime for SIX years
- British companies delivered sodium flouride to Syrian firm from 2004-2010
- The chemical is a key component in manufacture of nerve gas
- Sale has been blasted as 'grossly irresponsible' in light of chemical attacks
- Intelligence expert says substance will have been diverted to regime

Between July 2004 and May 2010 the Government issued five export licences to two companies, allowing them to sell Syria sodium fluoride, which is used to make sarin.
The Government last night admitted for the first time that the chemical was delivered to Syria – a clear breach of international protocol on the trade of dangerous substances that has been condemned as ‘grossly irresponsible’.

alleged poisonous gas attack fired by regime forces. It has emerged that
British companies sold the Syrian regime a key ingredient in the
manufacture of sarin gas
The UK firms delivered sodium fluoride to a Syrian cosmetics company for what they claim were legitimate purposes. But intelligence experts believe President Assad’s regime uses such companies to divert chemicals into its weapons programme.
