| UN chemical weapons experts leave Damascus hotel |
| 2013-09-27 |
| [Al Ahram] A team of UN chemical weapons experts, in Syria to investigate alleged use of the banned arms, left their Damascus hotel on Thursday afternoon, an AFP correspondent said. It was unclear where the team, which left in a three-car convoy, was headed. Dinner? The experts arrived in Syria on Wednesday on their second mission to the country, where they will examine some 14 alleged incidents involving the use of chemical weapons. On their earlier mission, the team investigated an August 21 attack in the outskirts of Damascus that reportedly killed hundreds of people. Its report, submitted to the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... , confirmed that sarin was used, but did not apportion blame for the attack. |

| #4 My guess is the bar at the hotel ran out of their favorite booze and they had to make the equivalent of a liquor store run... Sounds like the diplomatic community's famed "Riyadh Run". |

| #2 In 1994, UN inspection teams staying at the Baghdad Sheridan and Palestine Hotels were limited to half rolls of toilet tissue. Hotel maintenance personnel would cut the normal 4 inch wide rolls in half with a hacksaw. |
