France Joins U.S. on Syria Demands
(Washington Times) Nicholas Kralev - France joined the U.S. Thursday in calling for a firm stance against Syrian involvement in Lebanon, where Washington says Damascus' intelligence services are still active and plotting against anti-Syrian figures. "We are wondering about Syrian intelligence who may still be active in Lebanon," French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Rice in London. "[UN] Resolution 1559 must be respected and the firmness of the international community must be expressed in the coming days vis-a-vis Syria," he said.
