The German government agreed on Wednesday to send a frigate to take part in an international mission in the Mediterranean Sea to destroy Syria's chemical *******. Up to 300 German soldiers will take part in the deployment to help protect the US vessel, MV Cape Ray, aboard which the ******* will be broken down at sea using hydrolysis. Germany has already accepted a UN request to destroy remnants of Syria's chemical ******* on its own soil, which state-owned company GEKA in the **rthern town of Munster is handling. "The sooner the chemical ******* are destroyed and ** longer represent a danger for the people in Syria, the better," Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a written statement Wednesday.
