Mubarak: Syria to announce pullout timetable
 Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said Syria will announce within days a "precise timetable" for the full withdrawal of its remaining forces in Lebanon. Speaking from Paris following a meeting with French President Jacques Chirac, Mubarak said Syrian President Bashar Assad would provide the United Nations with a full timetable for the withdrawal "within a week." Mubarak met with Assad several times in the last 10 days, most recently during this week's Arab League summit in Algiers. Mubarak said: "I told him that it should take place before the elections to avoid other problems, and I believe he is fully aware of this."Posted by: Fred 2005-03-25 |
