SOMALIA, Mogadishu: In a handout photograph released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team 15 August, Ugandan soldiers serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) sort through a haul of munitions that were used by the extremist group Al Shabaab to make improvised explosive devices. AMISOM troops and Transitonal Federal Government (TFG) forces dislodged remnants of Al Shabaab from the site following the withdrawal of most of the extremist group's forces from the city ten days ago, discovering the bomb making facility at the former steel factory in northern Mogadishu which contained evidence that the group had used the site to manufacture improvised explosive devises, suicide vests and car bombs.

Men chant slogans during an anti-Syrian regime protest in front of the Chinese embassy in Tripoli, Libya, Monday, Feb. 6, 2012. Russia and China have vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at ending Syria's bloodshed, despite international outrage over a devastating bombardment of the city of Homs by President Bashar Assad's forces. The veto and the show of support by Russia last Saturday raised concerns that Assad's regime could now unleash even greater violence to crush the revolt against his rule, assured that his ally would prevent international action while continuing its weapons sales to Damascus.
