Syria finds Assad chemical weapons

Syria's transitional leadership has discovered remnants of former President Bashar al-Assad>>>'s clandestine chemical weapons program, including raw materials for sarin and dozens of munitions. This breakthrough, achieved with the cooperation of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons>>> (OPCW), also led to the detention of 18 suspects, including high-level military and political officials, some of whom were on international sanctions lists. Mohamad Katoub>>>, Syria>>>'s representative to the OPCW, confirmed the findings and the ongoing investigation. The new Syrian authorities under President Ahmed al-Sharaa>>> are actively working to dismantle the legacy chemical weapons program and prosecute those responsible for past chemical attacks, such as Jayez Al Moussa>>> and Adnan Abboud Halawa>>>. This event marks a significant step in Syria>>>'s efforts to align with international standards and rid itself of weapons of mass destruction, a plan supported by the United States>>>.
