Senator McCain likely to arrive today

Senator John McCain, who was Republican nominee for the last US presidential election, is likely to arrive here today (Tuesday) but official confirmation was not available. "Previous schedule is still on…Arrival time may be changed but we can confirm it only tomorrow," official sources said. But there is also indication that the trip might be cancelled for reasons unknown. The visit was part of a regional trip, the US Embassy earlier said. McCain would be accompanied by Senator Joseph Lieberman and Senator Lindsey Graham, all members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. — UNB
