Syria's precursor chemicals used to make legal sarin gas destroyed -OPCW
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said on Wednesday that all Syria's precursor chemicals used to make lethal sarin gas have been destroyed on board a US Navy ship in the Mediterranean Sea.

"All 581 metric tonnes of a precursor chemical for sarin gas that were removed from Syria have been destroyed with neutralization technology," the world's chemical watchdog said, confirming a Pentagon report. The ship was sailing "in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea", it added.

Last week the OPCW said that three quarters of Syria's entire chemical arsenal had now been destroyed.

Last year, the Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad agreed to adhere by an international plan to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile after a global outcry over chemical attacks in a Damascus suburb last year that may have killed around 1,400 people.
