Secret talks in Lebanon may end war
U.N. observers found no support for Syria’s massive intervention claim. Secret meetings above Beirut aimed to choose a presidential candidate acceptable to both sides.

U.S. pressure favored a compromise successor, while New York Times cited possible UAR interference despite the UN report.
