“Syria still holds around eight per cent of its declared chemical weapons material, as the deadline for it to be handed over expired Sunday, the task force overseeing the operation said. Sigrid Kaag, head of the joint Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons-UN team overseeing the destruction of the arsenal said ‘7.5-8.0 per cent’ of Syria’s chemical weapons material remained in-country at ‘one particular site.’ ‘However, 92.5 per cent of chemical weapons material removed or destroyed is significant progress,’ she said.”
