Prime Minister Saad Hariri is in Cairo on an official 2 day visit for talks with top officials, including President Hosni Mubarak.

Hariri was accompanied for the first time by his wife Lara, who lives in Saudi Arabia with the couple’s three children.

Hariri started his visit with a bilateral meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Nazif.

The visit also comes a day after an Egyptian prosecutor demanded the death sentence for 26 alleged members of the so-called Hezbollah cell in Egypt.
