      US Concerned Extremists Could Get Undeclared Syrian Chemical Weapons

   by VOA News

   United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power says the U.S. is concerned
   that extremists could get their hands on any undeclared chemical
   weapons in Syria.

   Power said Thursday one can only imagine what would happen if the
   militants who have carried out "vile acts" get a chemical bomb

   Power spoke after the U.N. Security Council heard a briefing by the
   head of the U.N. mission overseeing Syrian's chemical weapons
   destruction, Sigrid Kaag.

   Kaag told the Council that 96 percent of Syria's declared stockpile has
   been destroyed, including all of the so-called priority chemicals. But
   she said there are what she called discrepancies and questions about
   what the Syrians declared. She said she is heading back to Damascus.

   Syria agreed last year to give up its chemical weapons to the United
   Nations to avoid likely U.S. airstrikes in reaction to a deadly
   chemical attack on civilians in Damascus.
