Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and Saudi King Abdullah plan to arrive in Lebanon Friday on a mission to sooth tensions over a United Nations tribunal on the 2005 assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, a close Saudi ally.
The visit is being promoted in Arabic media as a trip to conduct summit talks with Lebanon's President Michel Sleiman. The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani is also expected to attend, according to Al Bawaba.
