French troops wander through a market in Djibouti Thursday, Sept. 19, 2002. Some
800 U.S. troops have been sent to Djibouti, a former French colony in the Horn of
Africa, to pursue al-Qaida suspects in the region. Djibouti is viewed as strategically
important in the war on terrorism as it is close to Yemen, shares a border with Somalia,
and has coasts on the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. (AP Photo/Karel Prinsloo)
