Sec. of State Sec. of State Clinton concerned about Indian pat-down at airport

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is expressing concern that India’s ambassador to the U.S. was patted down by a security agent at a Mississippi airport.

India’s foreign minister called the pat-down of the ambassador unacceptable.

Clinton told reporters Thursday that the State Department is looking into the matter, which she said was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. She says her department is trying to determine what can be done to prevent such incidents in the future.
