    • 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.

  • AABAY, LEBANON -JULY 17, 2008: Freed Lebanese prisoner Samir Kantar greets a hometown crowd celebrating his release from an Israeli jail July, 17, 2008 in his mountain village of Aabay, outside of Beirut. Kantar was the most controversial prisoner released from Israel in a prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Kantar was jailed for 29 years after being sentenced to five life terms for a triple murder in 1979. The agreement between Israel and Lebanon allowed Israel to recieve the bodies of two Israeli soldiers who were seized two years ago. The other four freed Hezbollah fighters were captured in the 2006 war which killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon. The 5 released were the last remaining Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails.
