Update
-Chemical weapon destruction has begun in Syria with reports that, so far, the Syrian government is cooperating and adhering to the agreement. Assad seems to be off the hook a bit, for now...
-Human Rights Watch has confirmed through their investigation that the rebel fighters are guilty of serious human rights abuses that could be equated to war crimes - killing at least 190 civilians in a pre-planned attack to gain ground back in August. The Syrian Coalition (western-backed opposition) has responded that it condemns that attack and has no control over the rogue rebel fighters who carried it out.
-And, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded today to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the international chemical weapons watchdog helping to eliminate the army's stockpiles of poison gas in Syria's civil war zone.
