美国务卿赖斯突访伊拉克 (US Secretary of State Rice Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq )

美国国务卿赖斯出人意料地访问伊拉克，鼓励伊拉克人在下个月选举前摈弃派系之争。

赖斯从星期五早些时候开始中东之行的首站巴林到达伊拉克北部城市摩苏尔。她会晤了伊拉克官员、美国外交官和军事指挥官。

赖斯对记者说，她要敦促伊拉克的逊尼派、什叶派和库尔德人在12月15号议会选举前克服彼此之间的分歧。她说，伊拉克要实现的最终目标是建立一个所有人都感到有充份保障的国家。

同时，美国军方说，星期四，两名美国军人在巴格达以西120公里处靠近哈利迪亚的战斗中阵亡。军方还说，一名美国海军陆战队军人在巴格达以西320公里的卡拉比拉被路边炸弹炸死。

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has made a surprise visit to Iraq to encourage citizens to put aside sectarian differences before elections next month.

Ms. Rice arrived in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul Friday from Bahrain, where she started a tour of the Middle East earlier Friday. She met with local Iraqi officials and U.S. diplomats and military officers.

Ms. Rice told reporters she wanted to urge Iraq's Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds to overcome any divisions ahead of the December 15th parliamentary elections. She said the goal in Iraq is a nation where all people feel fully protected.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military says two American soldiers were killed Thursday while conducting combat operations near al-Khalidiyah, 120 kilometers west of Baghdad. The military also says a U.S. Marine was killed by a roadside bomb in Karabilah, 320 kilometers west of the capital.

Al-Qaida in Iraq claims that four Iraqis, including a husband and wife team, carried out the triple suicide bombings Wednesday in the Jordanian capital, Amman, that killed 57 people.
