Sayyed resigns
Lebanon's most powerful pro-Syrian security chief resigned Monday, hours before the last Syrian forces were due to leave their tiny neighbor and end Damascus' 29-year domination. "Security chiefs are usually appointed with politics and change when it changes," Jamil al-Sayyed, head of the General Security, said in his resignation letter. Sayyed said last week he was ready to step aside during a U.N.-ordered international investigation into the Feb. 14 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, which sparked furious protests against the Syrians many blamed for the killing.
