Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:30:02 +0100 (Reuters) - A view from a concrete bunker in the nearly deserted Camp Adder, now known as Imam Ali Base near Nasiriyah, Iraq, December 16, 2011. Around 500 troops from the 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division ended their presence on Camp Adder, the last remaining American base, and departed in the final American military convoy out of Iraq, arriving into Kuwait in the early morning hours of December 18, 2011. All U.S. troops were scheduled to have departed Iraq by December 31, 2011. At least 4,485 U.S. military personnel died in service in Iraq. According to the Iraq Body Count, more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died from war-related violence. REUTERS/Mario Tama/Pool (IRAQ - Tags: CONFLICT MILITARY POLITICS)

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 11:10:02 +0200 (Reuters) - Flood victims collect concrete blocks at a distribution centre to build water protections for their houses in Bangkok October 29, 2011. Receding floodwaters north of Bangkok have reduced the threat to the Thai capital, the prime minister said on Saturday, but a rise in coastal high tides in the Gulf of Thailand will still test the city's flood defences. Many residents have fled the city or stocked up on water, food, boots, life jackets and even boats. REUTERS/Bazuki Muhammad (THAILAND - Tags: ENVIRONMENT DISASTER)
