Angelina Jolie tours Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Hollywood actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie reportedly took a tour of central Baghdad's Green Zone.

She was in the area Thursday to learn more about refugees displaced by the war and wasn't traveling with her partner Brad Pitt or their four children, Usmagazine.com said.

The actress, who is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Commissioner for Refugees, also met with officials from the United Nations and the U.S. embassy, the report said.

Al-Sumaria said Jolie also talked with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki about the status of Iraqis displaced by the war.

Media attention around Jolie intensified in recent weeks due to rumors she is pregnant with Pitt's second biological child. Jolie is best-known for her roles in "Girl, Interrupted," the two "Lara Croft" movies, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "A Mighty Heart."
