Syria’s government has invited the global chemical watchdog to visit the terrorist-held Syrian town of Douma to probe an alleged poison gas attack.
The international chemical weapons watchdog said Tuesday it will "shortly" deploy a fact-finding team to the Syrian town of Douma.
Coinciding with a request from both Syria and Russia to investigate the allegations, "the OPCW technical secretariat has requested the Syrian Arab Republic to make the necessary arrangements for such a deployment," the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said in a statement.
"This has coincided with a request from the Syrian Arab Republic and the Russian Federation to investigate the allegations of chemical weapons use in Douma. The team is preparing to deploy to Syria shortly," it added.
