The United States has offered to help dismantle Syria's chemical arsenal, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the group overseeing the process, said Saturday, according to dpa. "The United States has offered to contribute a destruction technology, full operational support and financing to neutralize Syria's priority chemicals, which are to be removed from the country by December 31," the watchdog's chief Ahmet Uzumcu said. He added that the neutralization operations would be conducted aboard a US vessel at sea. The Hague-based watchdog announced on October 31 that Syria had destroyed all its declared equipment for the production of chemical weapons.
