BAGHDAD - An Iraqi government official says U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has arrived in Baghdad for a surprise visit.

The official says the California Democrat is meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information before a government statement is issued.

Pelosi's visit to Baghdad today comes a day after she led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Israel to mark the 60th anniversary of Israel's founding.
