Britain admits OPCW did not confirm ‘essential evidence’ on origin of Skripal poison
Published time: 18 Apr, 2018 13:01

The British delegation to the OPCW has admitted that international chemical weapons inspectors did not confirm the origin of the nerve agent used in the Salisbury ex-spy poisoning.
The UK’s representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Peter Wilson, said identifying the nerve agent is an “essential part of the investigation,” and that the OPCW has identified neither its origin nor the laboratory where it was produced.

"But of course, while the identification of the nerve agent used is an essential piece of technical evidence in our investigation, neither DSTL’s analysis, nor the OPCW’s report, identifies the country or laboratory of origin of the agent used in this attack," he said.

In the latest statement to the OPCW, the UK says its accusations against Russia were based partly on “credible open-source reporting and intelligence.” So far, none of that material has been made public. The police investigation into the events in Salisbury is also still ongoing, but the government did not wait for Scotland Yard’s conclusions before insisting that it was “highly likely” that Russia was to blame for targeting the Skripals.
