KSA not sure if Assad has destroyed chemical weapons

The Assad regime has not destroyed its chemical weapons, despite efforts by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), warned Saudi authorities.
Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Abohaimed, permanent representative at the OPCW, said that a delegation from Riyadh reviewed the reports presented by the OPCW director general regarding the advancements made in destroying chemical weapons in Syria.
The report shed a very positive light on the progress made to destroy the Syrian chemical weapons cache. However, Abohaimed noted that this effort did not shake worries regarding a number of issues — the most important of which is the inaccuracy of declaring the existence of chemical weapons.
“We are not 100 percent certain that there are no more chemical weapons with the Syrian regime, and we encourage the technical secretariat to continue its efforts to make sure the Syrian declarations are correct and accurate,” said Abohaimed.
Saudi Arabia has organized a number of workshops and training session in cooperation with relevant international organizations and the United Nations, among others, in order to decrease the prevalence of chemical weapons worldwide, the ambassador noted.
Abohaimed expressed worry about the news published by some international news agencies regarding the recent toxic gas attacks by the Assad regime.
According to Abohaimed, a Saudi delegation supported and voted for the executive council resolution which stipulated that the council is concerned about results of the investigative mission, which found that chlorine had been used in high quantities.
“We encourage the fact-finding mission to continue its work within a defined timeframe to bring criminals who use chemical weapons to international courts.
