Syria's new government working with international community to secure potential chemical weapons sites

Syrian rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammad Jolani, said on Wednesday that Syria's new HTS-led government is working with international organisations to secure possible sites where chemical weapons may be located.

In a statement to Reuters, Sharaa also said he plans to dissolve the security forces of the toppled government of Bashar al-Assad. 

The US welcomed the statement on chemical weapons. 

"We welcome this type of rhetoric, but... actions have to meet words as well," Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said.
