Syria Completes Chemical Weapons Handover 
------------------------------------------


 
Syria has completed the handover of its chemical weapons stockpiles to
Western powers under a deal reached last year to avert possible U.S.
airstrikes. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
says all 1,300 tons of Syria's declared supply has been carried out of
the country by ship and will be destroyed.
