Russia has destroyed its stockpiles of the chemical warfare agent phosgene, ITAR-Tass reported yesterday.  More than 10 metric tons of phosgene were packaged and sent to Prikladnaya Khimiya Applied Chemistry research center in the Ural Mountains for reprocessing (see GSN, Nov. 26).  Russian Munitions Agency Director General Zinoviy Pak supervised the removal of the chemical from all ammunition, the agency said (ITAR-Tass/BBC Worldwide Monitoring, Dec. 3).
