Syria sarts pull out from Lebanon and will join US in patrolling Iraq border

Washington Times:

Syria's ambassador to Washington said yesterday his country's forces in Lebanon will begin a major redeployment toward their own border this morning.
The diplomat also said Syrian and U.S. troops will partake in joint security operations along the Syrian-Iraqi border, although State Department officials contradicted that claim.

...

Asked how many troops would be involved in today's redeployment and where they would be placed, Mr. Mustapha said it was "too early to tell" but that they would be shifted "toward the [Syrian] border area."
He made clear that the troops would remain somewhere on the Lebanese side of the border for the foreseeable future.
