U.S. ambassador tours site of August bombing in Iraq

America's ambassador to the United Nations made her first trip to Iraq on Saturday, discussing how to help the country move on from debt and sanctions and expressing sympathy over massive bombings in August.

Susan Rice met Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari for talks at the Foreign Ministry compound in Baghdad. While they toured the ministry building, they surveyed damage there from the August 19 bombing, one of six targets hit within an hour that day.

Zebari said the Iraqi government has been asking the United Nations for help to investigate the bombings, which also targeted the Finance Ministry. At least 100 people were killed and more than 500 wounded in the attacks.
