Syria makes 'excellent' start  Meanwhile, Syria won foreign
praise on Monday for starting to destroy its chemical arsenal.
An official from the international mission overseeing the
stockpile's elimination said Damascus had made an excellent
start, and the United States acknowledged its rapid compliance
with a U.N. resolution on destroying chemical weapons as
extremely significant. The official described Sunday's
operations in which Syrian forces used cutting torches and angle
grinders to render missile warheads and bombs unusable. However,
he noted that this was only the start of work that is due to
last until mid-2014 and requires the cooperation of all sides.
