Mon 04 Apr 2009Clinton renews US support for Iraq and Lebanon
US SECRETARY of state Hillary Clinton pledged not to abandon the people of Iraq or Lebanon during unannounced visits to Baghdad and Beirut at the weekend. She flew into Iraq on Saturday morning in the wake of suicide bombings that killed 160 people on Thursday and Friday.
