BAGHDAD, Iraq - A day after President Bush's surprise visit to Baghdad, a U.S. soldier was killed Friday when guerrillas shelled a military base in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

Meanwhile, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jack Reed arrived in Baghdad on Friday, saying it isn't too late to bring the United Nations back to Iraq.

Clinton and Reed said the expense and political burden in administering Iraq would be made easier with the U.N.'s stamp of legitimacy and help in transferring power to Iraqis.

"I'm a big believer that we ought to internationalize this, but it will take a big change in our administration's thinking," the former first lady said. "I don't see that it's forthcoming."
