SitiWanMahani - Pasukan Intl Chemical ‘bermula’ memusnahkan senjata Syria, jentera. Satu pasukan pakar-pakar antarabangsa yang meninggalkan untuk memulakan “pengesahan dan kemusnahan” kimia senjata senjata Syria, agensi melaporkan. Pada akhir hari Ahad gabungan senjata dan peralatan pengeluaran akan telah meletakkan perintah.

Sumber itu menyatakan pasukan dari PBB dan Pertubuhan bagi Larangan Senjata Kimia (OPCW) “telah meninggalkan untuk laman di mana mereka mula pengesahan dan kemusnahan.”

“Hari ini adalah hari pertama kemusnahan, di mana kenderaan berat akan dijalankan ke atas dan dengan itu memusnahkan peluru berpandu, bom kimia udara dan unit pergaulan dan pengisian mudah alih dan statik,” kata pegawai itu tanpa nama, kepada AFP.

Pasukan menyeberang ke Damsyik pada hari Selasa ditugaskan merombak anggaran 1,000 tan simpanan senjata kimia Assad.

Seorang pegawai PBB disahkan AP bahawa pemeriksa senjata telah mula memusnahkan simpanan dan jentera.

Awal minggu ini, seorang pegawai OPCW Hague berasaskan menyatakan bahawa semua “kaedah suai manfaat” akan digunakan untuk memastikan kemudahan pengeluaran Syria akan diberikan tidak boleh digunakan. Beliau menambah bahawa prosedur mungkin melibatkan penggunaan bahan letupan, sledgehammers, atau mencurah di konkrit.

“Kami amat telus. Pakar-pakar boleh pergi ke setiap laman. Mereka akan mempunyai semua data dari kerajaan kita,” Assad memberitahu majalah Jerman Der Spiegel pada hari Ahad.

Misi berikut resolusi PBB yang menuntut bahawa senjata kimia senjata Syria dimusnahkan. Prosedur untuk membersihkan negara senjata saham kimia mempunyai tarikh penamat sasaran pertengahan 2014.

Amerika Syarikat dan sekutu-sekutunya telah mengancam Syria dengan tindakan ketenteraan sebagai tindak balas kepada serangan 21 Ogos di timur pinggir bandar Damsyik Ghouta, apabila pakar-pakar PBB berkata gas sarin digunakan “secara besar-besaran.”

Intl Chemical team ‘Starts’ destroying Syria arsenal, machinery

A team of international experts are leaving to begin the "verification and destruction" of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal, agencies report. By the end of Sunday a combination of weapons and production equipment will have been put out of order.

The source stated the team from the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) “have left for a site where they are beginning verification and destruction.”

“Today is the first day of destruction, in which heavy vehicles are going to run over and thus destroy missile warheads, aerial chemical bombs and mobile and static mixing and filling units,” the anonymous official, told AFP.

The team crossed into Damascus on Tuesday tasked with dismantling Assad's estimated 1,000-ton chemical weapons stockpile. 

A UN official confirmed to AP that the weapons inspectors have begun to destroy the stockpile and machinery.

Earlier this week, a Hague-based OPCW official stated that all “expedient methods” would be used to ensure Syria’s production facilities would be rendered unusable. He added that procedures might entail the use of explosives, sledgehammers, or the pouring in of concrete.

“We're very transparent. The experts can go to every site. They are going to have all the data from our government,” Assad told German magazine Der Spiegel on Sunday.

The mission follows a UN resolution which demanded that Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal be destroyed. The procedure to purge the country of chemical weapons stocks has a target finish date of mid-2014.

The US and its allies have been threatening Syria with military action in response to the August 21 attack in Damascus's eastern Ghouta suburbs, when UN experts say sarin gas was used “on a large scale.”

Kedua-dua kerajaan Syria dan pasukan pemberontak menuduh antara satu sama lain dengan menggunakan senjata kimia, dan kedua-dua pihak telah menafikan menjalankan serangan.

Amerika Syarikat dan Britain adalah cepat untuk menuduh rejim Assad yang ‘Perpetrating’ serangan 21, Ogos , berdasarkan ciri-ciri teknikal peluru’, yang ditubuhkan oleh pakar-pakar PBB.

Rusia dan Syria menuduh Amerika Syarikat dan sekutu-sekutunya melompat terlalu cepat membuat kesimpulan. Damsyik mendakwa bahawa PBB telah mengabaikan bukti diserahkan kepada mereka rahsia. Rusia, yang percaya serangan 21 Ogos. adalah provokasi oleh pemberontak, telah memanggil “Geneva -2” yang di panggil persidangan keamanan.

PBB Syria utusan keamanan, Lakhdar Brahimi, berkata pada Ahad bahawa ia tidak yakin bahawa rundingan damai pertengahan November akan berlangsung di Geneva seperti yang dirancang. “Ini bukan satu kepastian . . . Saya menggalakkan semua orang untuk datang ke Geneva pada separuh kedua bulan November,” katanya dalam temu bual dengan TV5 televisyen dan radio RFI .

Pelan jangka panjang utk menghapuskan Stok Simpanan

Di samping perkara di atas penggunaan bahan letupan dan ‘Sledgehammers, sekeping besar peralatan pemprosesan kimia akan memainkan peranan dalam kemusnahan stok simpanan senjata kimia.

Pada awal November, sistem senjata mudah alih dan sangat maju akan dibina, menurut New York Times.

Bidang Sistem hidrolisis Deployable mungkin akan ditubuhkan di luar negara, untuk meneutralkan kuantiti yang banyak bahan kimia yang diangkut di luar sempadan negara. Proses ini akan melihat penukaran bahan kimia ke dalam sebatian yang tidak boleh dipergunakan untuk kegunaan tentera.

Rasmi negara jabatan Amerika Syarikat kepada New York Times bahawa sistem mudah alih adalah “demonstrasi awal” langkah-langkah yang sedang dibuat untuk mengecilkan senjata-senjata.

Both Syria’s government and rebel forces have accused each other of using chemical weapons, and both sides have denied carrying out attacks.

The US and Britain were quick to accuse the Assad regime of perpetrating the August 21 attack, based on the warheads’ technical characteristics, established by UN experts.

Russia and Syria accused the US and its allies of jumping too quickly to conclusions. Damascus claimed that the UN had ignored evidence passed to them confidentially. Russia, who believes the Aug.21 attack was a provocation by the rebels, has been calling for a so-called “Geneva-2” peace conference.

The UN Syria peace envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, said on Sunday that it was not certain that mid-November peace talks will take place in Geneva as planned. “This is not a certainty…I am encouraging everybody to come to Geneva in the second half of November,” he said in an interview with TV5 television and RFI radio.

Long-term plan for eliminating stockpiles

Alongside the aforementioned usage of explosives and sledgehammers, a larger piece of chemical processing equipment will play a role in the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles.

In early November, a mobile and highly developed disarmament system will be constructed, according to the New York Times.

The Field Deployable Hydrolysis System will probably be set up outside the country, in order to neutralize large quantities of chemicals that are to be transported outside the country’s borders. The process will see the conversion of chemical agents into compounds which cannot be put to military use.

A US state department official told the New York Times that the mobile system is an “early demonstration” that steps are being made to shrink the weapons’ arsenal.
