Syria shifts stockpile of chemical weapons

September 14, 2013 14:27

A secretive Syrian military unit is reportedly moving its stockpile of chemical weapons to as many as 50 sites in order to further complicate US efforts to track them.

Officials said that the shifting of the arsenal of poison gases and munitions can complicate a possible US military strike on Syria over the Damascus regime's alleged use of chemical weapons.

According to News24, the officials, on conditions of anonymity, did not confirm if the stocks have been shifted to 50 sites, but said that the Syrian military is indeed dispersing all of their military equipment and material in anticipation of a possible attack.
