Syria’s ability to launch chemical attack said to be limited after key equipment destroyed.

Inspectors have destroyed nearly all of Syria's chemical weapons within four weeks.( This article was published October 28th.) This reduced the country's  ability to have wage another chemical attack like that in August. These teams have visited all but 2 of the 23 chemical weapon sites. The other two chemical sites are said to be storage facilities, but it is unknown what kind of production they make. Obama's officials are optimistic saying that they could have all weapons destroyed by early summer. They developed a plan with Russia for the destruction of chemical weapons that was supposed to be completed by November 1st. A researcher for the European Union Institute for Security Studies, said in a report that Syria’s ability to make more chemical weapons “is fairly reduced, if not entirely destroyed.” This means that the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons, has deducted the chance of Syria every attacking with chemical warfare again.
