UN: Syria declares four more chemical weapons facilities. (Diplomats said Sigrid Kaag told them during closed consultations!!!)

Syria has declared four chemical weapons facilities it hadn't mentioned before, a special representative of the UN secretary-general told the Security Council on Tuesday. The news heightened concerns that the Syrian government hasn't been fully open about its chemical weapons program.
Diplomats said Sigrid Kaag told them during closed consultations that three of the facilities are for research and development, and one is for production, and that no new chemical agents have been associated with the four sites.

• The U.S. ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, tweeted: "Must keep pressure on regime so it doesn't hide CW capability."

A joint mission between the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was tasked last year with eliminating Syria's chemical weapons program after the Security Council found rare agreement on Syria.................AP............http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/1.619799
