Lebanese airport officials say the Joint Arab League and UN Envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi has arrived in Beirut and will travel by land to Damascus to meet with the country's president. The officials said Brahimi will travel to the Syrian capital by land because of fighting near its airport, according to a report of the Associated Press. He is to meet with President Bashar Al-Assad to discuss the 21-month-old crisis. Brahimi did not speak publically upon his arrival in Beirut Sunday. Anti-regime activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed since Syria's crisis began in March 2011.
