ROME, July 2 (UPI) -- A week after the Syrian government completed its goal of removing chemical weapons material from the embattled country, the last of the material was being transported Wednesday to a U.S. vessel for at-sea destruction.
Italy's Ministry of Interior noted that the transfer of the chemicals from a Danish ship to the U.S. government container ship, the Cape Ray, was underway at the Italian port of Gioia Tauro.
