Watchdog discusses Syria weapons destruction plan

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The tiny and impoverished Balkan nation of Albania was emerging today as a likely location for the destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was discussing a plan to destroy its estimated 1,000-metric-ton arsenal, which includes mustard gas and the deadly nerve agent sarin. Syria says it wants the weapons destroyed outside the country and the OPCW has described that as the “most viable” option.
