Abdullah dines with Abdullah
 Jordan's King Abdallah wrapped up a brief visit to the Saudi capital yesterday evening after holding wide-ranging talks with Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah. The talks focused on the latest developments in the Arab world after the killing of Lebanon's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and Saturday's announcement of a Syrian troop pullback from Lebanon by President Bashar Assad. "The talks between Saudi and Jordanian leaders covered the whole gamut of regional and international developments with special reference to the Syrian announcement of troop withdrawal from Lebanon," said Arab diplomatic sources here. Saudi Arabia and Jordan, which reaffirmed their commitment to peace and security in the region, support a Syrian troop withdrawal in compliance with the Taif Accord of 1989 and UN Security Council Resolution 1559. The talks were attended by Interior Minister Prince Naif and Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal and, on the Jordanian side, by Premier Faisal Al-Fayez and Prince Hashim ibn Al-Hussain.
