Clinton Returns to Work

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returns to work Monday after
recovering from a blood clot in her head that forced her to spend three
nights in the hospital.
She was released last week, capping a month of health concerns that included a stomach virus and a concussion she suffered after fainting at her home.
The State Department says Clinton will hold closed-door meetings with assistant secretaries Monday, but no public events.
Her schedule later in the week includes a meeting Thursday with visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
While not at her office, Clinton has been talking to staff and some foreign officials by telephone.
Her illness forced her to postpone testimony at congressional hearings on the September attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
State Department officials say Clinton still intends to appear before the committees investigating the violence.
President Barack Obama has nominated Senator John Kerry to replace Clinton, who did not plan to stay for the president's second term in office.
