King ‘Abdullah Arrives in Damascus

King ‘Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has arrived in Damascus, for his first visit to the Syrian capital since he ascended the throne (and since the assassination of Rafiq Hariri). I posted on the general background on Monday, so for now I'll simply refer you to my remarks then with the additional information that he's actually arrived. (Saudi Press Agency photo.)
