International Red Cross president to meet Assad in Damascus

The International Committee of the Red Cross said its president, Jakob Kellenberger, will meet Assad for talks on issues including caring for the sick and wounded during a two-day visit to Damascus that will begin late Saturday.

The Red Cross says the latest trip's aim is to review progress following an understanding reached during a visit by Kellenberger in June to give it "enhanced access" to troubled areas and hold negotiations on ICRC visits to detainees.
