How times change; we finally got to see the day where Syrian high officials come to Lebanon, pay their respect and go back.London based newspaper Al-hayat wrote today that Prosecutor Detlev Mehlis has submitted an official request to Syria for interviewing six of its top security officials (including Bashar’s brother in-law) in Monte-Verde, Beirut, as the sole place for such interviews.This is seen as a rebuff to Damascus’ declaration yesterday that Mr. Mehlis can interview anyone he wants as long as it’s done in Syria.
