On Wednesday, Syria's government said that rebels fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad had attacked two storage sites storing some of the deadly chemical weapons components that he has agreed to give up, Nick Cumming-Bruce and Rick Gladstone of The New York Times reports.
A European diplomat told The Times that Bassam Sabbagh, the Syrian representative to the group overseeing the destruction of the Syrian arsenal, reported attacks on a storage site near the city of Homs and a second site outside Damascus at the group’s executive council meeting.
