Lebanon-UN, Politics, 4/23/2005

The spokesman for the UN Steven Doyaritch said on Friday that a UN team will arrive in Beirut shortly to make sure of the full withdrawal of the Syrian army and its military intelligence from this country.

The UN official added that the team whose time of arrival is not set, will also make sure if Syria withdrew all its military equipments from Lebanon, noting that the team will submit all reached results to the UN secretary general Kofi Annan, when it completes its mission.

He indicated that a second UN team will head for Lebanon within the few coming days to draw the base for the international investigation on the assassination of Rafiq Hariri.

He continued that a third team might travel to Beirut in May if Lebanon asks the support of the UN in organizing the elections due in May.
