Thousands of Tunisians are fleeing Libya, many across its western land border, after a bloody crackdown on protests against the rule of Muammar Gaddafi, state media reported on Tuesday. Tunisia has at least 30,000 nationals in Libya and officials fear they could become targets because of Tunisia's role in inspiring uprisings across the Arab world.

909. Muslim girls smile as they work in a rice field in the troubled Yala province in southern Thailand February 28, 2011. Separatists are blamed for most of the attacks on Thailand's predominantly Muslim deep south, which often target Buddhists and Muslims associated with the Thai state, such as police, soldiers, government officials and teachers. No credible group has claimed responsibility for near daily drive-by shootings and bombings, which continue unabated, despite a massive counterinsurgency effort. Yala and Pattani are two of three Muslim-dominated provinces bordering Malaysia where more than 4,300 people, both Muslims and Buddhists, have been killed in a low-level insurgency since 2004.

Being a major league baseball player is the dream of thousands of children, but in Venezuela it is also a chance for a brighter future. In 2010 a record 58 Venezuelans played in Major League Baseball in the United States, making up more than a quarter of all the players born outside the U.S. Between 1939 and 2010 a total of 258 Venezuelans have gone on to play in major league teams in the United States.
