"[4]Articles in the Syrian press also repeated these conspiracy theories, accusing the U.S. of developing biological weapons in Ukraine labs. They warned that America's secret bioweapons may get out of control and threaten mankind's very existence.

America's use of secret labs that experiment in spreading deadly viruses among people constitutes an abhorrent crime against humanity and a direct threat to mankind as a whole.
