That may be where the discrepancy is here. EDIT: Some more reading suggests that they're actually being shipped to Italy for storage to get them out of Syria ASAP, and then the actual processing/destruction is occurring in international waters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Syria%27s_chemical_weapons#Framework_for_Elimination_of_Syrian_Chemical_Weapons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Syria%27s_chemic...
