Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:30:01 +0100 (AP) - Activists gather outside Canada's embassy protesting against the Canadian Osisko Mining Corporation, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Friday Jan. 27, 2012. Residents and environmentalists are demanding that the government put an end to the open-cast gold mining project near the town of Famatina, in northwest Argentina. The governor of the region temporarily suspended the project due to ongoing resistance from residents who worry the project will contaminate the water. Gold mining methods require large explosions, huge volumes of water, and the use of cyanide to extract the mineral. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)

Five members of the security forces were also killed in a shooting in the city of Homs, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday. The placard reads, "Wash our hands off the Arab leaders, where are the heroes of the Arab people". REUTERS/Handout (SYRIA - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
