The Gaddafi regime joined the OPCW, based in The Hague, in 2004 but had only
destroyed some 45 per cent of its declared stocks of chemical weapons before
the destruction facility malfunctioned in February 2011, just as the
ultimately successful rebellion broke out.
It still possessed 11.5 tonnes of mustard gas, not counting the undisclosed
stocks discovered by the NTC last year and since formally declared to the
OPCW.
