ROME (Reuters) - A Danish ship carrying some of Syria's most dangerous chemical agents transferred them on Wednesday to an American cargo vessel equipped with special gear to neutralise them at sea, officials said.

The operation was successfully completed in the southern Italian port of Gioia Tauro, the Italian environment ministry said, after a series of delays in the internationally-backed plan to destroy the Damascus government's stock of chemical arms.
