Clinton on Ahmadinejad's Visit: We Reject Any Efforts to Destabilize Lebanon

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said she rejects any efforts to destabilize Lebanon after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Beirut for a controversial visit.

"The United States supports the integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. We reject any efforts to destabilize or inflame tensions within Lebanon," Clinton said in Kosovo where she was meeting political leaders on her two-day tour of the Balkans.

"We would hope that no visitor would do anything or say anything that would give cause to greater tension or instability in that country," she added.(AFP)
