Libya has said the country's caches of chemical weapons have been completely destroyed.
Foreign Minister Mohammed Abdel-Aziz said chemical weapons, including bombs and artillery shells filled with mustard gas, were completely destroyed, after a mission was completed few days ago.
He said Libya is now totally empty of any presence of chemical weapons, which could pose threat to the safety of people, the environment, or neighbouring regions.
According to news24, before dictator Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and killed, Libya declared in 2004 it had 25 metric tons of sulfur mustard and 1 400 metric tons of precursor chemicals used to make weapons.
