Si ce sont les rebelles qui utilisent des armes chimiques, est-ce que c’est « game changing » ?

U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syria’s civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday.
The United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria has not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical weapons, which are banned under international law, said commission member Carla Del Ponte.
“Our investigators have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated,” Del Ponte said in an interview with Swiss-Italian television.
“This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities,” she added, speaking in Italian.
Admirer la présence d’esprit de la personne qui a installé une vidéo accompagnant cet article : l’article dit, très clairement, que pour l’instant l’ONU dispose d’éléments forts et concrets permettant de penser que ce sont les rebelles qui ont utilisé l’arme chimique, et que l’ONU ne dispose d’aucune indication, pour l’instant, de l’utilisation de telles armes par le régime ; la vidéo, elle, titre « Syria denies using chemical weapons », et ce titre est nettement plus visible que le texte qui dit exactement le contraire. Là je dis : bravo.
