In this photo taken on Thursday, February 18, 2016, a participant, foreground, takes photos as an car explodes during U.S-led Flintlock military training in Thies, Senegal. The training for 50 Senegalese police, gendarmes, customs and judicial officials is part of the annual U.S.-led Flintlock exercises, a more than decade-old effort to help Africans counter threats from extremist militants. Held in Senegal and Mauritania, this year is the first time they are involving law enforcement in such training designed to improve intelligence-gathering and cross-border communication as well as bridge gaps between military and first responders. More than 1,700 military and law enforcement personnel from about 30 countries are participating in the month-long exercise. (Photo by Vincent Tremeau/AP Photo)
