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

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
