Watchdog discusses Syria weapons destruction plan
None
The international chemical weapons watchdog was meeting Friday to endorse a plan to destroy Syria's deadly poison gas and nerve agent arsenal. Approval by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons of a destruction plan is a crucial step in the international community's efforts to eliminate President Bashar Assad's stockpile.
The risky disarmament operation started more than a month ago with inspections and the smashing of machinery used to mix chemicals and fill empty munitions. Syria has proposed moving the stockpile out of the country for destruction and the OPCW said that was the "most viable" option. (AP)
