UN chemical weapons probe

A UN inspection team is in Cyprus and ready to deploy to nearby Syria to probe the alleged use of chemical weapons in the conflict there, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said yesterday.

"I can announce today that an advance team is now in Cyprus for the final stage" before the mission heads to Syria, Ban said. "We are ready."

"The UN is now in the position to deploy in Syria - in less than 24 hours all logistical arrangements will in place," Ban said. "All we are waiting for is the go-ahead of the Syrian government to determine if any chemical weapons have been deployed," Ban said.

"We are still in the process of discussing it with the Syrian government."
