Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal will be removed from the country by February under a plan approved today by United Nations-authorized inspectors.
The “most critical” chemicals will be taken out of Syria by the end of this year, and all others except isopropanol by Feb. 5, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, based in The Hague, said on its website. “Sequenced destruction” will start on Dec. 15, “priority weapons” will be destroyed by the end of March and the whole arsenal by the end of June, it said.
