In this photo taken Sunday, April 19, 2009, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki gestures as he speaks at a meeting at the Iraqi Interior Ministry in Baghdad, Iraq. Al-Maliki denounced a deadly U.S. raid on Sunday April 26, 2009 in the southern Shiite city of Kut, which left at least one person dead and six arrested, as a "crime" that violated the security pact with Washington and demanded American commanders hand over those responsible to face possible trial in Iraqi courts.

Kashmiris protest near the body of Zahid Farooq, 17, who died on February 5, 2010 after an altercation broke-out between troops and a group of boys in the Brein area of Srinagar. The killing sparked violent protests in Brein as protestors attempted to carry Farooq's body to the state Chief Minister's residence before being dispersed by teargas. Indian troops had earlier in the day sealed off neighbourhoods in the summer capital and arrested dozens of activists to block continued protests over the January 31 death of Muslim boy Wamiq Farooq, 14, who was killed by a police teargas shell in the revolt-hit region.
