Reuters – Kerry : Syrian Handover Of All Chemical Arms Could Prevent Attack – 9 September 2013

Reuters(Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could avoid a military strike by turning over all his chemical weapons within a week but immediately made clear he was sure that would never happen.

When asked by a reporter whether there was anything Assad’s government could do or offer to stop any attack, Kerry said:
