Spain's Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar paid a surprise visit to his troops in Iraq on Saturday, his office said.
Aznar left Friday night with a 16-member delegation to meet with member of the 1,300-strong Spanish contingent in Iraq, based in the southern town of Diwaniyah.
"He is there now. He will have lunch and come home," an official at Aznar's Moncloa Palace office in Madrid said, according to The AP. The Spanish delegation included Defense Minister Federico Trillo.
