That denial is even less credible than their insistence that they had nothing to do with the Salisbury attack.

Putin won't be believed on anything he says by the rest of the world if he carries on like this. The only realistic alternative argument is that it really wasn't Assad's regime who did this, but Putin's! They are the only two major players in the area that could have carried out such a mission.

However, I don't think there can be much doubt that this was Assad's work.
