UNITED NATIONS: Syria has shipped out about a third of its chemical weapons stockpile and has submitted a new plan to ship its most dangerous chemicals abroad by April, a UN spokesman said here on Tuesday.

"Syria has submitted to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) a revised proposal that aims to complete the removal of all chemicals from Syria before the end of next month," said Martin Nesirky, spokesperson for UN secretary-general, at a daily briefing.
