Read Admiral Yoon Young-sik, commander of the ROKN Cruise Training Force, toasts with Turkish war veteran during a lunch on board AOE class fast combat support ship ROKS Chun Ji in Istanbul, Turkey, Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2008. Some 50 Turkish war veterans who fought in the 1950-1953 Korean War were invited aboard the South Korean Navy's war ships which were visiting Istanbul. Turkey sent 15,000 troops to help South Korea as part of a United Nations force during the Korean War. Turkish troops won honors from U.S. Congress and the South Korean president for their successful defense during the Battle of Kunuri, in which the Turks acted as a rear guard and allowed other U.N. forces to withdraw after being taken by surprise by a larger Chinese force.

Members of the Iraqi Armed forces parade in the streets of Hilla on October 23, 2008 as part of the ceremony for the official transfer of the Security files from the US Army to the Iraqi army of the Babil province in Hilla, 120 Kms South of Baghdad. Iraq took control of the central Shiite province of Babil from US forces today, in what local officials said was further sign of security gains across the war-torn nation. Babil, known for its ancient archaelogical treasures but also a string of bloody attacks on Shiite pilgrims in the aftermath of the US-led invasion of 2003, is the 12th of the country's 18 provinces to be transferred by US forces to Baghdad's command. Local officials hailed the role of former Sunni rebels who joined US forces in fighting Al-Qaeda for improving security in the province, whose northern part earned the ominous nickname the Triangle of Death because of the relentless bloodshed.
