AP- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was questioned as to why it's taking so long to test the samples collected in Syria, considering the United States determined immediately after the event it was banned chemical weapons used. Ki-moon explained that testing the samples takes several weeks to be certain of what was used and that the United States is going off of what they've been told by questionable sources and remote intelligence rather than basing their analysis on science and facts. He cautioned that even if it is determined banned chemical weapons were used, the UN has been presented with conflicting evidence as to who may used them. Ki-moon emphasize he has reason to question what he called "massaged evidence" presented by the United States.
