BBC News - Syria 'submits chemical weapons data' to Hague watchdog
A big step forward, and a big victory for the US and its big stick diplomacy. If we had not threatened to bomb Syria, this would not be happening.
Syria has begun sending details of its chemical weapons as part of a US-Russia brokered deal to make them safe, the chemical arms watchdog has said.
The Hague-based OPCW added that it expected more details from Syria in the coming days and had postponed a meeting planned for Sunday.
Syria was given a Saturday deadline to give a full list of its chemical arms.
A UN diplomat confirmed to Reuters that details had been submitted, adding: "It's quite long... and being translated."
