What was said

"there were 12 uh United Nations whistleblowers that say that that gas attack did not come from the Syrian government. It came and these were the inspectors who were on the ground. They said it came from al-Qaeda."

John Kiriakou alleges that a group he describes as 12 UN-linked whistleblowers who inspected a Syria chemical attack site rejected claims the Syrian government was responsible. He says they instead blamed al-Qaeda-linked forces and were later dismissed.
