Egyptian bodyguards flank Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby, second left, upon his arrival at the league's headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, Egypt, Monday, Sept. 8, 2014.

The resolution, issued Monday after late-night meetings a day earlier, doesn't explicitly back American military action against the group. U.S. President Barack Obama is seeking an international coalition to challenge the Islamic State group and is expected to outline his plan Wednesday. (AP Photo/Amr Nabil)

Patrick Hemingway, the grandson of Ernest Hemingway, hugs a child who handed him a Cuban flag, as his brother John, left, looks on in Cojimar, Cuba, Monday, Sept. 8, 2014.
