U.N. envoy Terje Roed-Larsen arrived to Beirut's
International Airport to visit Lebanon's former Prime
Minister Rafik Hariri's gravesite in Martyr's Square at Al
Amine Mosque, and to pay condolences to the Hariri family
in their Beirut home in Qoreitem.
Roed-Larsen will leave Beirut and pay a one-day visit
to Damascus, and will return to Lebanon for official visits
Sunday, March 13, to meet with Lebanese President Emile
Lahoud, Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, appointed Prime
Minister Omar Karami and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Hammoud.
U.N. envoy Terje Roed-Larsen, due to meet Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Saturday, said he
expected Syria to provide a firm timetable for a total
troop withdrawal from Lebanon as demanded by Security
Council resolution 1559.
"I'm looking forward for a good dialogue and of course
I expect that we will get commitments and timetables for a
full implementation of 1559," he told reporters in Amman.
Larsen is expected to meet Lebanese officials on
Sunday.
