Diplomats: Syria agrees new April target to remove chemicals
None
Syria has agreed a new timetable to remove its chemical weapons by late April after failing to meet a deadline to ship out the arsenal earlier this month, diplomats said on Wednesday.
Under a US-Russian deal reached after a chemical weapons attack killed hundreds of people around Damascus last year, President Bashar Assad's government should have handed over 1,300 tonnes of toxic chemicals by February 5 for destruction abroad. (Reuters)
