Destroying chemical weapons

The world's chemical weapons watchdog was meeting Friday to approve a tight timetable for ridding Syria of its entire arsenal by mid-2014. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is to agree "destruction milestones" for the more than 1,000 tonnes of dangerous chemicals in Syria, according to the terms of a US-Russian deal that headed off US military strikes on President Bashar al-Assad's regime.VIDEOGRAPHIC
