Press TV- Syria says�the US, Britain�and their allies are supporting terrorists in the war-torn Arab�country by supplying them with toxic agents and other kinds of weapons.
During a press conference in the Syrian Foreign Ministry�s main office in the capital Damascus, Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said on Wednesday that�toxic agents found in the cities of Aleppo and Damascus were made by US and UK companies, Syrian's official news agency�SANA�reported.
He also called on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to investigate those countries' actions in his country.
Mekdad added�that since the beginning of the crisis in Syria, the West,�based on false allegations made by the terrorists they support, has usually blamed�the government in Damascus for�various incidents of the use of chemical weapons throughout the country.
He stressed that the US has even used those "fabrications" as a pretext to attack the town of Khan Shaykhun�in Idlib province without launching an investigation into the terrorists' claims.

�Syria has received the fact-finding committee of the OPCW and opened all doors in front of them for investigation, but they refused,� the Syrian official said, stressing that as the results do not support the US� agenda they will be rejected.
The Syrian government turned over its entire chemical stockpile under a deal negotiated by Russia and the United States back in 2013.
