WASHINGTON [MENL] -- President Bashar Assad, struggling in his offensive
against Sunni rebels, was not expected to honor any agreement to surrender
Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, a report said.
The Foreign Policy Research Institute asserted that Assad would dilute
the Russian-U.S. agreement for the elimination of Syria's CW assets. In a
report, the institute said Assad could only hope to defeat the rebels
through nonconventional weapons.
