THE Syrian government was behind a deadly Sarin nerve gas attack which massacred civilians in April, the UN has confirmed.

The infamous chemical attack on the rebel-held Syrian town of Khan Sheikhun killed scores of people in April.

And forces loyal to evil despot Bashar al-Assad have now been confirmed to have carried out the atrocity, a UN investigative panel said Thursday.

The joint UN-Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) panel said in a much-awaited report that most of the evidence collected supported the "prevailing scenario" that the "sarin was delivered via an aerial bomb that was dropped by an airplane".

The "panel is confident that the Syrian Arab Republic is responsible for the release of sarin at Khan Sheikhun on 4 April 2017," said the confidential report to the UN Security Council.

More than 87 people died in the nerve gas attack on the town in Syria's north-western Idlib province.

Horrific images from the immediate aftermath of the attack drew global outrage and prompted Donald Trump to fire cruise missiles at a Syrian air base from which the West says the assault was launched.

Syrian ally Russia maintains that the sarin attack was most likely caused by a bomb set off directly on the ground, not by a Syrian air strike.

But expert analysis of photographs and videos of the site where the sarin was released found a crater caused by a "relatively large bomb" that was "dropped from medium or high altitude", the report said.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson accused the Kremlin of a cover-up in the wake of the report’s release.

He said: “Russia has repeatedly attempted to disrupt efforts to get to the truth of the Khan Sheikhoun attack, denying sarin was even used, and then this Tuesday vetoing a UN Resolution that would have extended the mandate of the investigative team.

“Russia has consistently chosen to cover up for Assad.�?/p>
