Beirut, -- An
exiled Syrian opposition group created two months
ago said it will meet in London next week to discuss
an "action plan" for regime change in Damascus.
The National Salvation Front, which includes
outspoken former Syrian vice president Abdel Halim
Kaddam and the banned Muslim Brotherhood, has called
the meeting for June 4 and 5, it said in a
statement.
About 50 opponents of the regime of President Bashar
al-Assad, including Kurdish parties, independents
and communists, are expected to turn up for the
talks, which will not however be attended by
opposition figures living in Syria, an aide to
Khaddam said.
The London meeting will come shortly before the head
of a UN commission of inquiry submits his report
into the February 2005 killing of former Lebanese
premier Rafiq Hariri, which has been widely blamed
on Syria.
Khaddam, who resigned last June and moved to exile
in Paris where he is now leading opposition
activities, has charged that Assad himself ordered
the killing of Hariri in a massive Beirut bomb
blast.
In turn, Syria has accused him of high treason and
corruption.
He has held a number of meetings in Paris and
Brussels with the London-based head of the banned
Muslim Brotherhood, Ali Sadredin al-Bayanuni, on
their push for "peaceful regime change".
