Chemical weapons inspectors visit 3 Syria sites

None

A spokesman for the international weapons inspectors in Syria has confirmed they have visited three sites so far across the country, working on a tight schedule to destroy its chemical arms stockpile and program.

 

The UN has tasked the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to rid Syria of its stockpile by mid-2014 – the tightest deadline ever given to the OPCW and the first conducted amid a civil war. Twenty-seven inspectors are meant to visit over 20 sites, at times having to cross rebel-held territory to reach some sites. (AP)
