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.
