New York, (SANA)- Spokesman of the UN Secretary General Farhan Haq said that a vehicle of the observers came under fire which stopped work, adding that there were no casualties or details on the source of the fire."Members of the observer team returned to their residence and evaluate the procedures of today's work and maybe they resume work tomorrow," Haq said in a statement by the international organization.
He added "we didn't accuse any side as chemical weapons could be used by any party… we call for not using them because this constitutes a violation of the international law regardless of the side which uses them."

The Syrian Arab News Agency may have a slightly different tune after Syria gets bombed back into the Stone Age.
That was the UN who made the statements.....SANA just reported it

The UN inspectors won't find anything, Assad wouldn't have let them in if they could. It has been reported that Assad bombed the area over the past days to destroy any remaining evidence, and that trace of the gas would be hard to find a few days after.
I think the US has no motive to say there was use of chemical weapons if there wasn't any as they are already reluctant to act in Syria, the only reason they do is to signal to Iran that they stand firm on their "red lines" and will act if they are crossed.

I have extremely low regard for the UN investigation teams. I'd have much preferred a neutral country in general (like Switzerland or Sweden) had sent a national team to review the findings.

They simply reported it from this transcript: Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-GeneralSANA is not an independent news organization.
It is a propaganda tool of the Assad regime.
Everything that it says must be viewed in that light.

Do you have any source or proof that the UN investigative team is somehow bias?

Sure its a propaganda arm but everything is, they simply reported what he said..
I don't pay any attention to what the propaganda arms of regimes that gas their own innocent citizens have to say about anything.
There are plenty of other, more reliable, sources of information.
There has yet to be any conclusuve evidence as to who did the chem attacks. I have posted in another thread that according to experts, the opposition's evidence is rather suspect.
I don't pay any attention to what anyone who supports the Syrian regime has to say about anything.
Please, show me evidence that I have supported the Syrian regime.
EDIT: Continue to ignore the facts, if that's what you want to do.
I will continue to ignore fact-free malarkey.
Wait and see what happens.

No, I just think historically they have tended to do a very bad job. I'm not a fan of the kinds of people who are drawn to those particular kinds of missions, they do a bad job of contextualizing things and always seem to be the odd analysis 'out' when grouped with other surveys and assessments whether its in the Congo or Georgia. I don't know if its because of bias, the quality of people drawn to their missions, the multinational and institutional pressures placed on a UN sponsored team, or what. This is mostly my personal anecdotal experience mind you so I don't blame you for discounting it. Doctors Without Borders, national teams from Sweden, Switzerland (best), Canadian, etc are my preference. My least favorite are Irish, Norwegian, and usually UN teams.
I will say something "International Law" is a joke. There is no such thing in reality. One country doesn't rule another country.
That is not what international law is. International law applies to all countries its not a country "ruling another country".
