US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has talked to officials in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and France, seeking a global consensus in backing Lebanon and the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon ( STL) , a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.

“She’s already been talking to the Egyptians, the Saudis, the French and others about having an international consensus about supporting Lebanon and … the tribunal,” a senior U.S. government official told reporters on Clinton’s plane as it landed in Doha, Qatar.

The official said Clinton planned to raise the Lebanon issue “urgently” with Gulf Arab leaders meeting in Qatar. Reuters
