U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is visiting Ethiopia Monday, where she will give a foreign policy speech and meet with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, in her last stop on an African tour.

During her visit, Clinton is expected to visit a school in the capital, Addis Ababa, and make remarks on the importance of girls' education. Ethiopia's first lady and minister of education are also expected to attend.

Clinton will also visit the Peace Corps Ethiopia headquarters to attend an event highlighting an effort to encourage households in developing countries to adopt “clean cookstoves” that reduce fuel consumption and exposure to cookstove smoke.

She will also visit a hospital to make remarks on U.S. support of an Ethiopian government effort to improve women's health.

Tuesday is the last day of Clinton's African tour before she returns to the U.S.

On Sunday in Tanzania, Clinton said al-Qaida has suffered another major blow with the death of Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in east Africa.

She made the remark a day after Somali officials announced that the al-Qaida operative was killed several days earlier at a Mogadishu checkpoint.

Clinton said his death represents another major loss to al-Qaida after the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. special early forces last month.

Al-Qaida operatives bombed the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on August 7, 1998, killing 224 people.
