UN inspectors arrive in Damascus on chemical probe
UN inspectors have arrived in the Syrian capital on a mission to probe for the alleged use of chemical weapons. The 20-member team comprising inspectors and assistants were driven in a convoy of seven cars.
They arrived at a five-star hotel in the heart of Damascus on Sunday and were whisked away from a crush of reporters and cameramen waiting for them at the hotel's entrance. Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told the Associated Press before their arrival that Syria will "fully cooperate" with the team. (AP)
