Ani Boka Arby weeps as the body of her husband, Mohamed Lamine, was unearthed in Timbuktu, Mali, on Friday February 8, 2013. Lamine, an Arab, was last seen being led away at gunpoint by Malian soldiers on January 28. Children found his body and that of another Arab man days later, lying facedown in the side of a dune on the outskirts of this desert capital. Human rights groups have warned that the military intervention to take back the territory in Mali's north could open the door to reprisals killings. Especially vulnerable are ethnic minorities suspected of having supported the extremists, including the country's Arabs. (Photo by Rukmini Callimachi/AP Photo via The Atlantic)
