Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons: "The number of sites containing chemical weapons far exceeds what the ousted regime had declared during its rule."

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has revealed the existence of over 100 suspected chemical weapons sites still in Syria after the fall of the Assad regime, some hidden in caves or hard-to-reach locations, far exceeding what the ousted regime officially declared during its rule. The New York Times reported today, citing the organization, that "the sites are believed to have been used in the manufacturing or storage of chemical weapons during Assad's rule, who resorted to using gases like sarin and chlorine against civilians and opposition fighters since the start of the Syrian revolution in 2011."
