MANAMA, Bahrain, Jumada II 28, 1437, April 06, 2016, SPA -- John Kerry is now the most traveled secretary of state in U.S. history, breaking the record as he arrived in the kingdom of Bahrain on Wednesday, according to AP. The trip pushed Kerry past 1.06 million miles as America's top diplomat, narrowly beating Condoleezza Rice by about 1,000 miles. Rice, who was secretary of state under President George W. Bush, held the previous mark with 1.059 million miles. Kerry eclipsed Hillary Clinton's mileage tally in December. With 10 months left before a new president takes office, Kerry is showing no signs of tempering his hectic travel schedule. He flew to the Mideast on Tuesday from New York after attending an energy conference, stopping in Ireland to refuel. He plans to visit Japan later in the week. --SPA 22:10 LOCAL TIME 19:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
