In this Tuesday, June 18, 2013 photo, a bartender pours out a measure of local spirit akpeteshie as he prepares a cocktail, at The Republic, in Accra, Ghana. In Ghana, the local alcohol akpeteshie tastes like fire to the uninitiated, burning all the way down the throat to a nervous stomach. But at The Republic in the nation’s capital, it comes garnished with mint and brown sugar for young professionals just getting off work. The drinks here represent part of a new drink movement in Ghana that some hope will spread across West Africa, taking traditional liquors and bringing them out of the countryside and into capital nightclubs.

FILE - In this file photo taken on Jan. 16, 2012 Iraqi security forces inspect bombs at the scene of a car bomb attack outside the northern city of Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad, Iraq. Al-Qaida's Iraq arm is gaining strength in the restive northern city of Mosul, reviving its fundraising efforts through gangland-style shakedowns, feeding off anti-government anger and increasingly carrying out attacks with impunity. It is a worrying development for Iraq's third-largest city, one of its main gateways to Syria, as voters prepare to cast ballots for local leaders and al-Qaida makes a push to establish itself as a dominant force among the rebels fighting to topple the Syrian regime.
