Syria to announce timetable for pullout
2005-04-03
Syria will announce a timetable for the withdrawal of its remaining forces from Lebanon on Sunday, a Syrian official source said on Saturday. Syria has come under international pressure to end its 29-year military presence since the 14 February assassination of Lebanese former prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri. "The date and timetable will be announced tomorrow, Sunday, after it is given to UN envoy Terje Roed-Larsen," said the source. Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara and Roed-Larsen will hold a joint news conference at 11:30am (0830 GMT) on Sunday after the UN envoy has met with President Bashar al-Assad. The source added that a Lebanese-Syrian military committee had met in Beirut and Damascus in the past few days to agree on the timetable.
