Syria has completed destruction of equipment that it used for producing chemical weapons and filling munitions with poison gas. The revelation was made by an official at the global chemical weapons watchdog Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. According to Dawn News, the announcement made by the official on conditions of anonymity comes one day ahead of the November 1 deadline set by the Hague-based organization for Damascus to destroy all chemical weapon production facilities. Destruction of the equipment means that Syria can no longer produce new chemical weapons. However Damascus still has to start destroying existing weapons and stockpiles. (ANI)
