The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom wants Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to declare Iraq a "county of particular concern" for the persecution of religious minorities. It asked the same thing during the Bush administration, but no action was taken then and none is expected now since the designation could lead to sanctions.

Ambassador Christopher Hill said the anti-Christian violence was ultimately a matter for Iraq to resolve.
