Army chief to visit Washington from February 3 to 5

Army chief Rodolphe Haykal will visit Washington from February 3 to 5, media reports said.

Haykal will present to Washington detailed military maps, and a list of Hezbollah sites and tunnels, local TV network MTV said.

According to the channel, Haykal will also give deadlines for the implementation of the disarmament plan.

In November, a visit by Haykal was cancelled just hours before he was set to depart for Washington, after U.S. officials and senators criticized the Lebanese Army and its chief, accusing them of not doing enough to disarm Hezbollah.

The cancellation included all high-level meetings at the Pentagon and Congress, as well as an official reception at the Lebanese Embassy.
