Syria to miss deadline for chemical weapon removal -
2013-12-30
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) [the winner of the Nobel peace prize for 2013], the body in charge of the UN-backed plan to destroy 1,300 tonnes of Syria's chemical weapons, said it had put in place all the necessary "logistical and security" arrangements.

However, it added that tomorrow's deadline for the shipment of the weapons-grade munitions cannot be met and could only proceed if President Bashar al-Assad's government "intensified efforts" to move the material.
