The remainder of Syria's chemical weapons, about 8 per cent of the original stockpile, is currently inaccessible due to rebels overtaking areas surrounding one site, says Sigrid Kaag, head of the international team tasked with eliminating chemical weapons, according to dpa. "The remaining 8 per cent is currently inaccessible due to the security conditions in the country," Kaag says. "The authorities need unfettered access to the site." She said the joint mission of the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is looking at ways to get to the site regardless of the security situation and will begin transporting weapons out of the country as soon as the situation improves. -- SPA 21:49 LOCAL TIME 18:49 GMT تغريد
