Bush Steps Up Pressure On Syria

President George Bush has increased US pressure on Syria, laying out demands he says he expects Damascus to meet. Tension has intensified since former PM Rafik Hariri, who had called for Syrian troops to withdraw from Lebanon, was killed by a bomb in Beirut on Monday. Mr Bush stopped short of blaming Syria for the attack, but demanded Damascus pull out of Lebanon and hand over any supporters of Saddam Hussein. He also cautioned Iran, which said on Wednesday it would stand by Syria.
