News in Brief Syria's military establishment does not know where the body of Mossad agent Eli Cohen is buried, a former senior Syrian official said in a report broadcast yesterday on the news network Al-Arabiya. Mundar Musali, a former presidential chief of staff, said President Bashar Assad had asked his military to locate the grave of Cohen, who was executed in Damascus in 1965. Syrian officials told the reporters that Cohen's bones had been removed from his grave three times to prevent Israeli commandos from recovering them, but said their final resting place is unknown. (Yoav Stern) Sources close to the search for Rose Pizem said yesterday that police have not yet decided whether to temporarily dry out a 200-meter stretch of the Yarkon River as part of the search. "The chances of finding her by drying out the Yarkon are slim," an officer said. Diving was suspended over the weekend and the search focused on the area near the river's banks, as well as the Netanya beach. A helicopter, mounted officers and a naval police force assisted.
