Chemical Weapons Watchdog Chief Calls for Ceasefire in Syria

Godspeed

Ahmet Uzumcu, the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, said today the deadline for destroying equipment was "extremely tight", but was possible if truces were agreed.

"I think if some temporary ceasefires can be established, I think those targets could be reached," Mr Uzumcu told journalists in The Hague.
