Ian Henderson, member of OPCW team on Douma, spoke today at the UN.
He re-stated his belief that no chemical attack occurred & called the final OPCW report a "complete turnaround in the situation from what was understood by the majority of the team and the entire Douma team."

Henderson of the OPCW Douma investigative team:
"In my case, I had followed up with a further six months of engineering and ballistic studies of these cylinders, the result of which had provided further support for the view that *there had not been a chemical attack.*"

Henderson's visa application was curiously rejected by the US, preventing his attendance. His credibility was attacked by US-backed @bellingcat ahead of time.
He revealed that he was also inspection team leader at Syria's Barzei laboratories before & after it was bombed by US.

@bellingcat The attacks on Henderson's credibility by the usual regime change fanatics (see below) were discounted once again today.
He was not just a member of the Douma investigative team, he played a lead role in other highly intrusive OPCW inspections in Syria.

@bellingcat The US & UK reps were clearly out of their depth today at the UN session. Both clumsily echoed the official narrative that has been shredded by Henderson and one other OPCW dissident, as well as by scores of eyewitnesses in Douma.
@bellingcat Senior OPCW management refused to attend the UN meeting on Douma today. Since internal dissenters like Henderson emerged, OPCW leadership has stonewalled reporters & basically leaned on @bellingcat as both an outsourced press shop and troll farm to viciously attack their critics.
