Full Syrian Withdrawal Questioned
(CNN) Syria has fully withdrawn its uniformed forces from Lebanon, but Syrian intelligence operatives may still be in the country, according to a report Monday from a UN verification team. "The team has been unable to conclude with certainty that all the intelligence apparatus has been withdrawn," the report said. The UN team was also unable to verify withdrawal from the Qoussayaan area, which it called a "Palestinian-controlled area in the eastern hills of the central Bekaa Valley, not far from the border with Syria," where the team was denied access.
