Org. for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons In Syria

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has their investigation team in Damascus, Syria following the air strikes by the U.S., France, and England.  The international group based in the Netherlands said today a fact-finding team is beginning its work after arriving safely.  The OPCW is looking into claims toxic chemicals used by  government forces killed at least 40 people last week.  Pentagon officials said this morning that yesterday's air strikes significantly depleted the country's ability to produce such weapons in the future.  U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley says that if Bashar al-Assad chooses to retaliate, the United States is "locked and loaded."
