Tokyo – The international chemical weapons watchdog’s head has said the destruction of Syria’s toxic stockpile could begin by late January on the American ship .

Director General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons ( OPCW) Ahmet Uzumcu said that it will depend on the security situation of the region as the Syrian weapons needs to be transported through a war zone to the Mediterranean port of Latakia and destroyed aboard the U.S. Navy’s MV Cape Ray cargo ship, the Japan Times reports.
