Congresswoman Mazie K. Hirono, D-Hawai'i, is set to arrive at the Honolulu International Airport Thursday morning after leading a congressional delegation to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hirono has scheduled a news conference at the airport to talk about her observations after spending nearly a week in the war torn areas to get a firsthand look at the situation in Iraq, meet with Hawai'i-based troops, as well as embassy, coalition forces and Iraqi leadership.
