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.

Austria is re-evaluating whether elderly Croat Milivoj Asner, 95, who has admitted deporting Jews and Serbs under Croatia's World War Two pro-Nazi regime is indeed unfit for trial, the justice minister said on Wednesday. Austria previously rejected a Croatian extradition request on grounds that Asner's physical and mental condition was fragile. But he was filmed recently mingling with European championship soccer fans and was interviewed last week by Croatian television. The Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center, who considers Asner the fourth most wanted Nazi at large, this month renewed a request to Austria for his extradition.
