Only 11 Percent of Chemical Weapons Have Been Removed From Syria

Writer: OurStudioOurStudio

(CNN) — Syria has shipped out 11% of its chemical weapons stockpile—falling far short of the February 5 deadline to have all such arms removed from the country, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons told CNN Wednesday.

The slow pace of removal prompted U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to warn last month that all options remain available to force compliance.

The OPCW is now in touch with senior Syrian officials to discuss a new schedule going forward.
