Syria’s declared chemical arms ‘100% destroyed’

THE HAGUE: Syria’s declared chemical weapons arsenal has been completely destroyed capping more than two years of work, a global arms watchdog said Tuesday, amid concern sarin gas is still being unleashed in the country’s complex civil war.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) -- which oversaw the dangerous removal and elimination of Syria’s avowed stockpile -- has for months been warning of the continued use of mustard, sarin and chlorine gas in the brutal conflict.
