The Daily Mail never gives up on a dead Fake news Story
"
Chemical weapons base where Russian scientists 'made Salisbury nerve agent' is demolished as Vladimir Putin is accused of a cover-up
- The base was cited as source of the nerve agent used in the Salisbury attack
- The shock move to destroy the site was revealed by state-run media in Russia
- It was torn down before investigators from the OPCW could inspect the area

‘The timing seems especially cynical as it is likely that now the OPCW have confirmed Porton Down results that Novichok was used in the botched Skripal assassination, the OPCW would want to visit Shikhany, as the Chemical Weapons Convention would have them do, to see where these things were made, or not. The destruction of the labs in this case seems like an admission of guilt.’
The military research base in southern
Russia was named by British intelligence chief Sir Mark Sedwill as the source of the Novichok nerve agent used in the assassination attempt by Russia.

"The experimental scientific center at Shikany halted its activities in February 1994, offering its 2,500 staff the choice of either seeking another job or taking an enforced vacation. Since the employees had not received their wages since December 1993, there was an immediate exodus reducing the staff to 1,500 left.
No wonder the place is being demolished
What's wrong with this story
Sir Mark Sedwill's comments are a new one on me!
The readers reactions are interesting

Oh give me a break. MOS, and what about the risidual agents and/or cross contamination? Look what our glorious utterly incompetent Government are saying re the Sailsbury incident, the 'experts' are having to take the top soil off half of the city before they can make safe the place. The ConLabLibs really do take us voters for fools.

I thought the OPCW had visited this particular facility on numerous occasions and found it to be clean!

They did, earlier this year in fact. The facility destruction and closedown has been going on for some time in fact. But the DM won't tell you things like that."

Shikhany mayor Andrei Tatarinov told reporters: ‘The buildings are currently being demolished, and all construction waste is passed through high-temperature furnaces. Burnt rubbish is stored at a special landfill site.
'All this is carried out in order to clean the institute’s territory, which can later be set up for some new production facilities.’
