It said that he should head to Saudi Arabia before the end of May in order to sign the protocol linked to Riyadh's grant to the army. Widely-informed sources told the daily that he will head to the kingdom at the head of a military delegation. President Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... unveiled the three billion dollar grant in late December. It is aimed at purchasing French weapons for the Lebanese army as soon as possible. Qahwaji had traveled to Saudi Arabia and La Belle France in January in order to discuss the grant.
