Clinton renews support for Iraq

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the US "will stand with the people of Iraq" during a difficult transition period in the conflict-torn country.

"We want to see a stable, sovereign, self-reliant Iraq," Mrs Clinton said during a "town-hall" meeting with Iraqis from different civil society and interest groups.

"The US will stand with the people of Iraq and will look for ways to create a close and important relationship for the future."
