BEIRUT (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice flew to Lebanon on Monday and a Lebanese source said she had insisted Hizbollah release two Israeli soldiers and pull back from the border before any ceasefire. 

Rice met Prime Minister Fouad Siniora after arriving by helicopter from Cyprus in Beirut, a city pounded by Israeli air strikes almost every day since the 13-day-old war began.
