Lavrov: Swiss lab says ‘BZ toxin’ used in Salisbury, not produced in Russia, was in US & UK service

15/04/2018

Les conclusions du laboratoir suisse qui s’est vu confier l’analyse de certains échantillons recueillis suprès des Skripal indiquent que l’agent double russo-britannique et sa fille semblent avoir été victimes d’un poison fabriqué en Grande bretagne et non en Russie.

Mais il est vrai que le laboratoire a reçu AUSSI des échantillons d’un poison de type “Novitchok” (qui rappelons le n’existe pas en tant que tel) .

Le problème est que les échantillons fournis, s’ils avaient été réellement utilisés, auraient provoqué la mort des deux victimes.

Ce qui n’a pas été le cas. Or les officiels britanniques et bien sûr notre presse n’ont fait état que du poison correspondant aux accusations officielles britanniques.

Malgré leur incohérence. Les Britanniques n’ont toujours pas partagé leurs “preuves” avec leurs partenaires russes !

Voici ce qu’explique sur le sujet le ministre des affaires étrangères russe Serguei Lavrov.

The substance used on Sergei Skripal was an agent called BZ, according to Swiss state Spiez lab, the Russian foreign minister said. The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states.

Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with an incapacitating toxin known as 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, citing the results of the examination conducted by a Swiss chemical lab that worked with the samples that London handed over to the Organisation for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The Swiss center sent the results to the OPCW. However, the UN chemical watchdog limited itself only to confirming the formula of the substance used to poison the Skripals in its final report without mentioning anything about the other facts presented in the Swiss document, the Russian foreign minister added. He went on to say that Moscow would ask the OPCW about its decision to not include any other information provided by the Swiss in its report.

Lavrov said that the Swiss center that assessed the samples is actually the Spiez Laboratory. This facility is a Swiss state research center controlled by the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Protection and, ultimately, by the country’s defense minister. The lab is also an internationally recognized center of excellence in the field of the nuclear, biological, and chemical protection and is one of the five centers permanently authorized by the OPCW.

The Spiez Laboratory reflected on Lavrov’s words, tweeting late Saturday that only the OPCW “can comment [on] this assertion.”

The scandal erupted in early March, when former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found in critical condition in the town of Salisbury. Top UK officials almost immediately pinned the blame on Russia.

Moscow believes that the entire Skripal case lacks transparency and that the UK is in fact not interested in an independent inquiry. “We get the impression that the British government is deliberately pursuing the policy of destroying all possible evidence, classifying all remaining materials and making a transparent investigation impossible,” the Russian ambassador to the UK, Alexander Yakovenko, said during a press conference on Friday.

The Russian foreign minister said that London refused to answer dozens of “very specific”questions asked by Moscow about the Salisbury case, as well as to provide any substantial evidence that could shed light on the incident. Instead, the UK accused Russia of failing to answer its own questions, he said, adding that, in fact, London did not ask any questions but wanted Moscow to admit that it was responsible for the delivery of the chemical agent to the UK.
