Participants into a course to learn how to transport and handle contagious patients use an 'Aircraft Transit Isolator' (ATI) to carry a colleague during a simulation at the military airport of Pratica di Mare, 30 kilometers south of Rome, Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014. Italy's defense ministry staged the simulated medical evacuation of an Ebola patient Wednesday as part of a three-day training course for Italian military, Red Cross and health care workers. Some of them are on the front lines of Italy's Mare Nostrum rescue operation for thousands of African migrants who are arriving here every day in smugglers' boats. Officials and medical experts insist that the risk that Ebola might spread from Africa to Europe is small. They say Italy's first case of Ebola will most likely be from an Italian doctor or missionary who contracts it while caring for patients in Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea _ the three hardest-hit countries _ and is airlifted home.

Car salesman Sahin Aktan shows photos of his ex-wife Asiya Ummi Abdullah as he
speaks during an interview at his lawyer's office in Istanbul, Turkey, Friday, Sept. 19, 2014. The 44-year-old is the ex-husband of Asiya Ummi Abdullah, a 24-year-old Muslim convert who took their child to the territory controlled by Islamic State. Her experience illustrates the puritanical pull of the Islamic State group, the self-styled caliphate straddling Iraq and Syria that has sent shockwaves around the world with its bloodthirsty campaign. It also shows how, even in Turkey _ one of the most modern and prosperous of the Muslim countries _ entire families are dropping everything to find salvation in what one academic describes as a âfalse heaven.â (AP Photo/Emrah Gurel)

A local Liberian artist paints a mural forming part of the country's fight against the deadly Ebola virus by education in the city of Monrovia, Liberia, Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014. U.S. health officials Tuesday presented worst-case and best-case scenarios for the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, calculating that as many as 1.4 million people could be sickened in two countries alone by mid-January _ or the outbreak could be winding down by then, if control efforts substantially increase.
