Advance group of inspectors due to arrive in Syria today
Print Edition
An advance group of weapons inspectors who will oversee Syria’s destruction of its chemical arms arrived in Beirut yesterday.
The inspectors from The Hague-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons are to help Syria meet a November 1 deadline to scrap its ability to manufacture such arms, and are due to head into Syria today. The destruction of Syria’s existing stockpiles is to be completed by the middle of next year.
Lebanese airport officials said 20 inspectors from the OPCW landed in Beirut on a private jet.
Also yesterday, another UN team of inspectors charged with investigating alleged chemical attack sites concluded its almost week-long mission in Syria and headed to Lebanon.
