None
The head of a UN chemical weapons investigation team arrived in Lebanon on Tuesday on his way to Syria to discuss his probe into allegations that chemical arms have been used in Syria's civil war.
Ake Sellstrom, a Swede, flew from Paris to Beirut and was due to drive overland to Syria, a source at Beirut's Rafik Hariri airport said. It was not clear exactly when they would make the short drive to the Syrian border. His mission this week aims to reach an agreement for it to start work inside Syria. (Reuters)
