 A top U.N. envoy was instructed Monday to travel to Syria "as soon as possible" to see President Bashar Al-Assad about Lebanon, but U.N. officials would not say why the mission was deemed urgent.
I'd guess they're back-channeling over the evidence that Syria was involved in Hariri's death. Scapegoat probably being prepared even as we speak blog... |
The announcement that Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked Terje Roed-Larsen to travel to Damascus came three days after the United States said it would like the U.N. Security Council to expand an international inquiry into former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri's assassination to include the killing of an anti-Syrian journalist. Roed-Larsen stepped down as Annan's top U.N. Mideast envoy last year, but agreed to become his special envoy for implementation of Security Council Resolution 1559, which was adopted in October and called for Syria to withdraw all military forces and intelligence operatives. It also called for disarmament of all Lebanese militias. |
