Rice says she will return to Middle East but gives no timetable

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Friday she would return to the Middle East for more talks on the Israel-Lebanon war, but she gave no timetable.

"I am going to return to the Middle East. The question is when is it right for me to return to the Middle East," she told a news conference after taking part in a global security forum in Malaysia. (Reuters)
