Displaced Liberians live in Gray Stone Compound in Monrovia, July 1,
2003. The compund is part of the U.S. embassy property and as such is
regarded as a safe haven by many Liberians, despite the deaths of 21
people when rockets fell on it last week. Under international pressure
to take the lead in peacekeeping in Liberia, the United States on
Tuesday refused to rule out sending troops to the West African nation
to help end almost 14 years of conflict. REUTERS/Luc Gnago
