Condoleezza Rice  

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is in Iraq on a previously unannounced visit Thursday, and is expected to hold talks with Iraqi and U.S. officials.

Rice has been on a tour of the Middle East. The visit to Baghdad comes at a time of escalating violence in Iraq. More than 20 American troops have been killed there in the last four days.

A U.S. military spokesman said Wednesday that the number of bombings in Baghdad - both detonated and defused - has hit "an all-time high" in the past weeks.

Earlier Thursday, the U.S. military said it is "highly unlikely" that the leader of Al-Qaida in Iraq was among several militants killed in a recent raid in Al Anbar province.

A U.S. military spokesman said he believes militant leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, is alive. However, U.S. and Iraqi officials say they are conducting DNA tests on one of the militants killed to be completely sure.

Wednesday, Iraqi authorities suspended one of Baghdad＇s police units on suspicion of complicity with sectarian death squads. The entire police brigade - the 8th National Police Brigade - was ordered back into barracks for re-training.

A U.S. military spokesman Major General William Caldwell says there is clear evidence that the unit allowed death squad elements to move freely, when it should have been impeding their movements.
