War of Urbino The War of Urbino ( 1517 ) was a secondary episode of the Italian Wars . The conflict ensued after the end of the War of the League of Cambrai ( 1508 – 16 ) , when Francesco Maria I della Rovere decided to take advantage of the situation to recover the Duchy of Urbino , from which he had been ousted in the previous year . In the early 1517 he presented himself under the walls of Verona to hire the troops which had besieged the city , now to be returned to the Republic of Venice . Della Rovere set off with an army of some 5 , 000 infantry and 1 , 000 horses which he entrusted to Federico Gonzaga , lord of Bozzolo , reaching the walls of Urbino on January 23 , 1517 . He defeated the Papal condottiero Francesco del Monte and entered the city hailed by the population . Pope Leo X reacted by hastily hiring an army of 10 , 000 troops under Lorenzo II de ' Medici , Renzo di Ceri , Giulio Vitelli and Guido Rangoni and sending it against Urbino . Lorenzo was wounded by a bullet from an arquebus on April 4 during the siege of the Mondolfo castle , and returned to Tuscany . He was replaced by Cardinal Bibbiena . The latter was however unable to control the troops , and , defeated with relevant losses at Monte Imperiale , was forced to retreat to Pesaro . The war was however ended by the lack of money of Francesco Maria della Rovere , who soon found himself unable to pay the troops hired at Verona . After some unfruitful ravages in Tuscany and Umbria , he began to seek for a diplomatic settlement with the pope . In September they signed a treaty by which della Rovere was relieved of all ecclasiastical censures and was left free to retreat to Mantua with all his artillery , as well as the rich library collected in Urbino by the former duke Federico III da Montefeltro . The war saw the first appearance of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere on the battlefield .

Scorpions ( Iraq ) Scorpions was an Iraqi paramilitary force set up by the United States Central Intelligence Agency prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq . History . The covert members were trained in Jordan in target identification , explosives and small arms at two secret bases . Weapons and equipment ( including old Soviet Hind helicopters ) were supplied by the CIA . Most members were recruited from the Iraqi exile community by Iraqi Kurds . The original mission of the Scorpions was to foment rebellion in Iraq prior to the US led invasion . However , due to training delays , little of this mission was ever achieved . Following the war , the CIA began using the Scorpions in anti - insurgency roles , and for interrogations of prisoners . The Scorpions have been implicated in the events that led to the death of Iraqi Maj . Gen . Abed Hamed Mowhoush while in US captivity . These events included the use of physical and psychological torture under the auspices of a US CIA operative identified only as " Brian " . That the Scorpions original mission was to start , or give the appearance of a rebellion against the regime of Saddam Hussein ' s Ba ' ath Party , makes their involvement in the death of Mowoush significant . It is not clear at what point the Scorpions became involved in the interrogation of US held prisoners . However , this appears to tie in with the US policy of extraordinary rendition .

President Museveni , and H . E . BAN ki - Moon , Secretary - General of the United Nations . The War Victims Football Game . The Victims Foundation ( UVF ) and the African Youth Initiative Network ( AYINET ) organized the War Victims Day celebrations in Uganda on Sunday 30 May , in advance on the Review Conference of the International Criminal Court Statute . The day included a concert with leading Ugandan musicians such as Jose Chameleone , Bobi Wine , Ragga Dee and Peter Miles . The highlight of the day was the football game at 15 . 00 when delegates played together with victims of war crimes from countries within the ICC ’ s jurisdiction . The game was a unique opportunity for world leaders and ICC Member State Delegates to spend some time with victims , before talking about victims at the Review Conference , as well giving a chance for victims to interact with delegates in an activity which they truly can own and can be proud of . Most importantly , it helps acknowledge us as survivors , individuals with rights and stakeholders in the rebuilding of societies , and not solely by their ‘ victimhood ’ .
