UK wants evidence Russian proposal isn't delaying tactic
None
Britain wants evidence to show that a Russian-backed proposal for putting President Assad's chemical weapons under international control is not a delaying tactic, Defense Secretary Philip Hammond told Reuters on Tuesday.
"We are in favor of anything that resolves for the longer term the problem of this massive stockpile of chemical weapons the Syrians have got," Hammond said. "History teaches us to be wary of anything which might simply be a delaying tactic." (Reuters)
