Boy in Douma 'Chem Attack' Video Says He Was Lured With Cookies...

• https://russia-insider.com, RT

A boy who was portrayed as a 'victim' in a rebel-linked activists' video of the alleged chemical attack in Douma has told Russian broadcaster VGTRK that he was lured into the hospital with cookies and then sprayed with water.

Panic, fear, screaming adults and frightened children featured in the purported footage of the aftermath following the alleged chemical attack in the Eastern Ghouta city. The video has been circulated by mainstream media since April 7 after being posted by the so-called Douma Revolution group.

The group is one of the organizations, along with the notorious rebel-linked White Helmets, that has claimed government troops were the culprits behind the reported chemical attack.

One of the main 'characters' in the footage is a soaked boy, who is seen being sprayed with water by people who claim to be 'rescue workers.' It's not clear whether they are doctors from the hospital, human rights activists, or White Helmets members. The latter usually make such videos and send them to news agencies, including Reuters.
