Husari confirmed on Wednesday that his production, which is still a work in progress, is a fictional short drama based on a 2013 chemical weapons attack in Ghouta.

The United States, France, and Britain have blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government for the April 7 attack, which Syrian activists said killed more than 40 people. The three countries struck suspected Syrian chemical weapons facilities in joint airstrikes a week later.


Inspectors from the Organisation of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons collected samples on Wednesday from a new location in the Syrian town of Douma, their second visit to the area since it was hit.


The organisation said the samples would be sent to the organisation’s laboratories for analysis. An earlier visit took place on Saturday after the inspectors were delayed for days from getting to the town, just east of Damascus, over security reasons.
