U.S. intelligence: Assad kept some of his chemical weapons

U.S. intelligence agencies suspect that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad kept some of the chemical weapons or components that he agreed to surrender under a 2013 U.S.-Russian deal, an intelligence official told Reuters on Thursday.

"We have never taken the Assad regime at its word that it declared its entire chemical weapons stockpile," said the U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
