    • BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

De Menezes was shot dead by British police during an anti-terror operation in July 2005. A jury began its deliberations Thursday at an inquest into the death of an unarmed Brazilian man who was shot dead in London by police who mistook him for a suicide bomber. The family of Jean Charles de Menezes staged a protest just before the jury retired. Three of the dead man's cousins stood up unveiling T-shirts with the message "Your legal right to decide _ unlawful killing verdict," before leaving the courtroom. The family was angered by coroner Michael Wright's instructions to the jury earlier this week that the evidence does not support a verdict of unlawful killing in the July 2005 shooting. He said jurors could only return a verdict of lawful killing or an open verdict, which means they reached no conclusion. From AP Photo by AKIRA SUEMORI.
