| Syria Ships Out Mustard Gas as Watchdog Urges Faster Action |
| 2014-02-27 |
| [An Nahar] Syria shipped out a fourth consignment of chemical weapons for destruction Wednesday but the international watchdog urged swifter progress towards a missed turn-of-the-year deadline to surrender the most dangerous agents. The mustard gas loaded onto a fat merchantman in the Mediterranean port of Latakia was one of five "priority chemicals" in Syria's arsenal which it was supposed to have handed over by December 31 under a disarmament deal approved by the U.N. Security Council last August. |
