Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak arrived in Syria on Sunday for talks with Syria's Bashar al-Assad on Iraq and tensions between Damascus and Washington over alleged Syrian chemical weapons. 

 

"The main topic would be the situation between Syria and the United States," said a diplomatic source. "The discussions would also tackle post-war Iraq and bilateral relations." 

 

Syria denied U.S. accusations that also included giving safe haven to officials linked to neighbouring Iraq's Saddam Hussein.
