FILE - This is a 2003 file image obtained by The Associated Press which shows an unidentified detainee standing on a box with a bag on his head and wires attached to him in late 2003 at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq. An Iraqi Justice Ministry official said Wednesday, April 16, 2014 that this week's closure of the infamous Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad is temporary and that it will be reopened once the security situation in the surrounding area is stable. The closure is the latest chapter in the history of the prison, which during Saddam Hussein's rule was one of the main facilities for jailing and executing his opponents. After the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam, Abu Ghraib became notorious once again, for a 2004 scandal over abuses of detainees by American guards. (AP Photo, File)

A man walks past electoral posters in Algiers, Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Algerians go to the polls Thursday to elect the president of their oil-rich country, a key U.S. ally in the fight against terror and a major natural gas provider to Europe. Six candidates are running for the presidency. President since 1999, Abdelaziz Bouteflika,77, is running for a 4th term despite being hit by a stroke last year that left him speaking and moving with difficulty. While he has not made a single campaign experience, he is expected to win with the full force of the state backing him. (AP Photo/Sidali Djarboub)
