    • 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.

  • This is a March 9 2008 file photo. of Nikola Kavaja a self-styled assassin to former Yugoslavia's dictator Josip Broz Tito, who claimed Osama Bin Laden had copied his idea of crushing passenger jets into high-rises during the 9/11 attacks, has died of a heart attack, Belgrade media reported Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2008. In 1979, he hijacked an American Airlines jet in New York and commandeered it over the Atlantic with the intention of crashing it into the high-rise Yugoslav Communist Party headquarters in Belgrade. He was extradited to the U.S. from Ireland where the Boeing 707 landed when he abandoned his highjack mission, saying at the time he was not sure of the exact location of the downtown party headquarters and did not want innocent civilians to die if the jet missed the target. Kavaja, who spent 18 years in a U.S. federal prison on highjack charges, and was released 1999 had claimed that he was recruited by CIA to kill former communist dictator Josip Broz Tito, who ruled Yugoslavia from 1945 until he died in 1980, during his visits to Brazil and Chile in the early 1960s.
