Kerry: US still waiting for Russia plan on Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. is still awaiting a proposal from the Russians about how Syria could agree to give up its chemical weapons, but that the U.S. will not wait for long.

Kerry told a House panel on Tuesday that the Obama administration will give any proposal a hard look, but that it must not be used as a delaying tactic and that it has to be verifiable, real and include tangible conditions for Syrian President Bashar Assad to forfeit his chemical weapons.
