Powell to Visit Syria and Lebanon, But Delays Israel Trip
(New York Times) - Secretary of State Colin Powell will meet with President Bashar al-Assad of Syria in Damascus on Saturday and pay a visit to Lebanon the same day, the Bush administration announced. Mr. Powell deferred plans to go to Israel and several Arab countries in the region until later in May, in order to give the newly installed Palestinian prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas, time to get his footing, officials said.
