There is one race to go and Lewis Hamilton has his work cut out if he is to win a fourth world drivers' title.

With one grand prix to go, the Briton trails Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg by 12 points, with a maximum of 25 available in the last race.
Can Hamilton come from behind to pip the German or will Rosberg be celebrating his maiden drivers' crown? BBC Sport takes a look at how the title may be decided...
Hamilton has won the past three races ahead of Rosberg, but a similar result in the final race of the season would hand the German his first title.
For Hamilton to win his fourth world title - after successes in 2008, 2014 and 2015 - he needs to claim victory in Abu Dhabi on Sunday and hope Rosberg finishes outside the top three, or does not finish at all.
If Hamilton comes second, Rosberg would have to finish outside of the top six. There is still a chance for Hamilton, albeit a slight one, if he comes third as he would need Rosberg to finish ninth, 10th, out of the points, or not finish.
A retirement for Hamilton would gift Rosberg the title before the race has finished.
The Briton has battled for the title in the final race on four occasions - 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2014 - with Rosberg a factor only once before, two years ago.
Quite possibly. Hamilton's engine failure 16 laps from home in Malaysia prevented an almost certain victory that would have left him leading the championship by five points at that stage. Rosberg's subsequent win - emphatically backed up in Japan - has turned the tide dramatically.
Hamilton has had three engine failures this season but Rosberg says he is "not worried" he could experience a similar problem, as "it is something that I cannot influence".
Both Hamilton and Rosberg have two new engines left going into the final two races, which should be enough to see them through to the end of the season - barring failures of the kind experienced by the Briton in Malaysia - without incurring grid penalties.
A 12-point deficit will be tough to surmount but Hamilton has already wiped out a sizeable gap this season.
He trailed Rosberg by 43 points five races in, but had established a six-point lead six races later, after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix in July.
A week later he won in Germany and had a 19-point cushion. Six races further on and there has been a 45-point swing back towards Rosberg.
It is worth remembering that championships have been won from less promising positions.
In his debut F1 campaign in 2007, Hamilton was 17 points clear of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, who was then lying in third, with two races to go.
Under the old system offering 10 points for a win, Raikkonen triumphed in China and Brazil while Hamilton faltered, and the Finn snatched an unlikely world title.
It is an unlikely scenario, but if both men end the season on the same points a countback system is used.
Firstly, the number of wins is used. However, this will not come into play as a deciding factor as both men have won nine races, and a 10th for Rosberg gives him the title.
Secondly, the number of runner-up places is used.
Rosberg has come second in four races, Hamilton three. If Rosberg comes seventh in Abu Dhabi and Hamilton second then both men end on 373 points, both with nine wins and both with four second-place finishes.
The world champion would then be decided by who finished third more often - and the title would be Hamilton's as he leads that 'race' 4-2.
Head hurting? Confused? Well, there is another scenario...
If Rosberg does not finish or scores no points and Hamilton comes fourth, then both men end up on 367 points. Rosberg would this time have the edge on the strength of his four second-placed finishes, compared to only three from Hamilton.


Home Secretary Theresa May has warned that Scottish independence would leave the country open to mass immigration problems.

She highlighted the danger of joining Europe's Schengen area, which allows free movement of people within a number of EU countries.
Ms May's comments came in a speech to the Scottish Conservative conference in Troon.
She said the Union has also helped tackle terrorism across the UK.
The home secretary questioned Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond's pro-European policies, saying he must spell out which powers an independent Scotland would be handing to Brussels.
She told the conference: "It completely defeats the SNP argument that Scotland would fare better with more control over its affairs when they seek to hand over so many serious areas of government elsewhere.
"And people want to know - and they have the right to know - what handing over those powers will mean.
"Maybe even joining a single currency. In the UK, we maintain control over our borders.
"Joining Europe's borderless Schengen area could open Scotland's border up to mass immigration.
"In the UK, we have an opt-out on justice and home affairs matters - almost certainly Scotland would not have an opt-out."
The Schengen Agreement, named after the Luxembourg town where it was signed, abolished internal borders, enabling passport-free movement between 25 European countries.
But the deal is now under review, after surges in illegal migration from Africa and Asia, via Italy and Greece in particular, in 2011.
The home secretary went on to say that policing in Scotland and the rest of the UK had a strong tradition of co-operation when it came to tackling issues like terrorism.
She said UK agencies had been quick to provide support in the wake of the Glasgow Airport attack, and would again be offering their services to ensure safety at the city's Commonwealth Games, in 2014.
Ms May said: "Working together, we're fighting the scourge of international terrorism.
"Working together, we're busting the international drug barons that ruin our communities, rip families apart and ravage the lives of so many.
"Working together we can look to the future as a United Kingdom."


Mark Zuckerberg has said Facebook will do more to tackle fake news, and again denied it had in any way aided Donald Trump's presidential election victory.

In a post on his Facebook profile Mr Zuckerberg said he hoped to announce measures to tackle fake stories "soon".
He said this work "often takes longer than we'd like in order to confirm changes we make won't introduce unintended side effects or bias".
And he said that more than 99% of content on Facebook "is authentic".
"Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes. The hoaxes that do exist are not limited to one partisan view, or even to politics," he added.
He said that made it extremely unlikely hoaxes "changed the outcome of the election in one direction or the other".
Mr Zuckerberg continued: "That said, we don't want any hoaxes on Facebook. Our goal is to show people the content they will find most meaningful, and people want accurate news.
"We have already launched work enabling our community to flag hoaxes and fake news, and there is more we can do here. We have made progress, and we will continue to work on this to improve further."
Some data has shown that fake stories were being far more widely shared on the platform than follow-up stories debunking the claims.
For an increasing number of people, particularly Americans, Facebook is becoming the primary source of news coverage.
The site's News Feed is specifically designed to show users content it thinks will be of most interest, creating what some describe as a "filter bubble" that reinforces a person's view without injecting differences in opinion.
Earlier this year, Facebook was accused of being anti-Trump after it was alleged its human moderators were favouring liberal stories appearing in people's "trending stories" box.
While denying that claim, the site did sack its human team, instead relying solely on an algorithm to determine which stories were shown to be most popular.
Mr Zuckerberg said any new changes to the way hoaxes and fake news were flagged up had to be taken with caution.
"This is an area where I believe we must proceed very carefully though," he said.
"Identifying the 'truth' is complicated. While some hoaxes can be completely debunked, a greater amount of content, including from mainstream sources, often gets the basic idea right but some details wrong or omitted.
"An even greater volume of stories express an opinion that many will disagree with and flag as incorrect even when factual.
"I am confident we can find ways for our community to tell us what content is most meaningful, but I believe we must be extremely cautious about becoming arbiters of truth ourselves."

In Bristol, 20mph speed limits are already annoying drivers, but they could soon be forced to drive at just 10mph.
Planners were reported by the Bristol Post to be reviewing next generation road safety options now that all the city's 20mph zones have been phased in.


Cecil Parkinson has died aged 84 after what his family said was "a long battle with cancer".

As Conservative Party chairman under Margaret Thatcher in the early 1980s, he played a key role in the Tories' 1983 general election victory.
Lord Parkinson quit the cabinet soon after when it emerged his ex-secretary Sara Keays was carrying his child.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "a man of huge ability" who had helped transform the UK in the 1980s.
Paying tribute in Downing Street, Mr Cameron said he had "learnt a lot" from Lord Parkinson at the start of his political career, describing him as part of "a great political generation that really did extraordinary things for our country".
And Mark Thatcher said Lord Parkinson had been a "great personal friend" to his family.
As they confirmed his death, a family spokesman said: "We shall miss him enormously. As a family, we should like to pay tribute to him as a beloved husband to Ann and brother to Norma, and a supportive and loving father to Mary, Emma and Joanna and grandfather to their children.
"We also salute his extraordinary commitment to British public life as a member of parliament, cabinet minister and peer - together with a distinguished career in business."
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said Cecil Parkinson was one of Margaret Thatcher's closest political allies but said that his career was "undone" by the scandal that engulfed him following his affair with Ms Keays.
The former chartered accountant and businessman was central to Margaret Thatcher's political agenda and achievements in office, he added.
Lord Parkinson was in the front rank of Conservative politics for three decades, first being elected to Parliament in 1970.
After becoming a junior minister after Margaret Thatcher's 1979 election victory, he swiftly rose through the ranks and was named party chairman and elevated to the cabinet in 1981. He was a member of the war cabinet during the 1982 Falklands conflict.
He was tipped to be named foreign secretary after overseeing the Tories' landslide election victory in 1983. But he was given the more junior role of trade and industry secretary and it later emerged he had fathered a child with his former secretary, prompting him to resign in October 1983.
Former Conservative cabinet minister Michael Portillo said this scandal had "definitely held back his career" but the fact that he was offered a cabinet post at all was testament to his closeness to the PM.
Former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind said Lord Parkinson would have been "the most natural candidate" to succeed Margaret Thatcher had events not turned out in the way they did.
"John Major eventually filled the gap that Cecil Parkinson would have had," he told the BBC News Channel. "But Cecil Parkinson was in reality a Thatcherite while John Major, as Margaret Thatcher eventually discovered, was not nearly as close to her, as she had hoped and assumed".
The former prime minister regarded Cecil Parkinson as "one of us", Sir Malcolm added: "He shared her views, thoughts and ideas. She was comfortable with him and had confidence in him, In addition, at a personal level, he was able to charm her."
After being brought back into government by Margaret Thatcher in 1987, Cecil Parkinson served as energy and transport secretaries.
He stood down as an MP in 1992 and was elevated to the House of Lords. He briefly made a comeback as Tory Party chairman, under William Hague, after the party's general election hammering in 1997.
Lord Hague described him as "an exceptional talent and an extraordinarily nice man to work with".
Other members of the current government have also been paying tribute. Chancellor George Osborne tweeted: "Sad to hear of death of Cecil Parkinson. I worked with him when he was party chairman in 1997-8 - he was there in our hour of greatest need."
And former minister Alan Duncan said Lord Parkinson was "personable, amusing, easy-going and mischievously witty". "He started as Margaret Thatcher's great marketing man for overseas trade and turned into one of the great personalities of the Thatcher era," he said.
When the scandal over Cecil Parkinson's infidelity broke during the 1983 Conservative Party conference, Ms Keays claimed the politician had agreed to leave his wife Ann for her.
In her book, A Question Of Judgement, Ms Keays claimed that the then Mr Parkinson had "begged" her to have an abortion and that he had "haggled over every pound" of financial support for their daughter Flora.
But the Conservative politician insisted that he had voluntarily made more than adequate provision for Flora - who was diagnosed at an early age with learning disabilities and Asperger's syndrome, and had an operation to remove a brain tumour when she was four.
In 1993, Cecil Parkinson and Sara Keays secured an injunction to prevent any information being published about Flora or her schooling until she turned 18. The court order was designed to protect her privacy but was later disowned by Miss Keays.
In an interview in 2002, after the gagging order had expired, Flora Keays said her father had "behaved very badly" towards her and her mother but hoped that one day he would become "part of our lives".


The 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is prompting many to reflect on how they have touched our lives.

Here, three creative artists from the worlds of music, photography and theatre reveal how they are commemorating those seismic events a decade on.
Like millions of people around the world, US composer Steve Reich knows exactly where he was when the planes hit the Twin Towers.
"On 11 September I was in Vermont, 300 miles from our apartment in New York City," recalls the 74-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner.
"We got a call from my son. He said, 'I think they bombed the World Trade Center again.'
"We turned on the TV and saw the second plane hit, which was terrifying. My son was there with his daughter and his wife, four blocks away.
"I told him, 'Don't hang up, close all the windows and stay home until our next door neighbour comes back and gets you out of the city.'"
The events of 11 September 2001 "had a very personal, direct effect," says Reich.
"It was something that really impacted on my life."
Yet this was not something he felt he wanted to immediately address through his art. Indeed, it was eight years before Reich realised that he had "unfinished business".
The impetus was a request for a new piece of music for Kronos Quartet, the chamber ensemble Reich has collaborated with since 1989.
Reich's response was to fashion WTC 9/11 - a three-part composition that combines urgent, haunting strings with pre-recorded voices from people directly involved or affected by the tragedy.
Some of them belong to air traffic controllers from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad), the first to notice that the aeroplanes were off course.
Others belong to workers of New York's Fire Department (FDNY), which lost many employees in the attacks.
The music also incorporates the songs and chants of the women who volunteered to keep vigil over the dead.
Due to difficulties involved in identifying some of the remains, it was a ritual they performed in shifts for seven months.
"This is not my fantasy or personal expression," says Reich. "I deal with 9/11 through the people who were the participants.
"That's the essential ingredient. By dealing with the documentary reality, it makes doing a piece completely and inarguably legitimate."
'Distraction'
First performed in March this year, WTC 9/11 - released on CD later this month - has not been without its critics.
The disc's original album cover was attacked for featuring a darkened photograph taken the moment before the second plane hit the second tower.
Some considered this exploitative, prompting record company Nonesuch to replace it with a different design.
Reich admits the cover was "a distraction" but suggests the majority of complaints had come from "people who had never heard the music".
"I think that right now we're going to talk about this piece until everyone's blue in the face," he says.
"It's quite understandable. But WTC 9/11 as a piece will live or die on the quality of the music.
"It's been played in London, New York, Los Angeles and North Carolina, and the reactions have been quite moving.
"I'm very happy people are taking the piece seriously, that they engage with it and it seems to move them."
WTC 9/11 is released by Nonesuch Records on 19 September. Reich's Mallet Quartet (2009) and Dance Patterns (2002) are also included.
After the towers fell, sifting through the mountains of rubble and debris at Ground Zero required a Herculean effort.
In the months and years that followed, the empty Hangar 17 at John F Kennedy International Airport became a makeshift home for objects salvaged from the site.
In the spring of 2009, Spanish photographer Francesc Torres was given rare access to the hangar to record the stored items.
A selection of his 1,500 photographs are on display at the Imperial War Museum in London, alongside a section of steel thought to come from the World Trade Center's North Tower.
"It was such an extraordinary sight I felt we had to document it," says the softly-spoken Torres. "It's a huge place and it was filled to the brim.
"There were things that were absolutely unbelievable. And then there were all these little things that were incredibly powerful."
The items Torres recorded ran the gamut from crushed fire engines and abandoned subway cars to a solitary pair of spectacles.
Bicycles still chained to railings are shown in one image, while another shows the remnants of a 360 foot (109 metre) broadcast antenna.
Plastic reliefs of cartoon characters including Bugs Bunny and Tweetie Pie point to the Warner Bros store that once stood in the World Trade Center's underground mall.
And then there are what the photographer calls "composites" - compacted layers of what was once several floors of office space.
"It looks like volcanic magma, and within it you notice there are layers with different colourations and texture," explains the artist.
"You see clusters of what looks like black carbon that are compressed reams of office paper. If you touch it it cracks, but if you look closely you can still read what it says."
Largely left to his own devices, the only thing to stir Torres from his contemplation was the constant sound of aircraft taking off nearby.
'Emotional response'
"I was there alone with a plane flying over me every minute. I started to think, 'I'm in a building constructed to house a plane.
"'That was precisely the machine that was turned into a weapon that hit the towers, and now here's the result of that.'"
Some who lost loved ones in the tragedy may be unnerved by the idea of a stranger poring over their effects and putting them on display in a public setting.
Torres feels it is the duty of the artist to deal with traumatic events, provided it is handled with sensitivity.
"There are many different ways of addressing this event, and they're all good and effective," he says.
"I don't think art is better, but it's good at certain things and it can explain things in a way that elicits an emotional response.
"Nietzsche said consciousness was essentially pictorial and it's true. An image can extract aspects that you wouldn't be able to using other material.
"9/11 is too big for art, no question, but that doesn't mean art can't do anything. It just has to find its place."
Memory Remains: 9/11 Artifacts at Hangar 17 continues at the Imperial War Museum, London until 26 February 2012. It will also be exhibited in New York, Barcelona and Madrid.
Since 9/11, several playwrights have attempted to grapple with its cost, aftermath and significance.
This year's Edinburgh Fringe saw a number of shows staged to mark the 10th anniversary, while the current production at London's Royal Court also touches on the terror attacks.
In The Faith Machine, a young couple make a fateful decision on the morning of 11 September 2001 that sees their lives progress in radically different directions.
Yet it would be misleading to describe Alexi Kaye Campbell's three-act drama as a "9/11 play".
Decade, the latest production from theatre company Headlong, has also provoked interest.
A site-specific, multi-authored piece incorporating contemporary dance and music, it is, in the words of director Rupert Goold, "a kind of mosaic" that will tackle 9/11 and its legacy head on.
"Part of the piece addresses healing and what wounds are left behind," says Goold, whose previous productions include a celebrated Macbeth with Sir Patrick Stewart and the award-winning Enron.
"But it wouldn't be theatre if it wasn't provocative, and inevitably that provocation may offend some people."
Staged in a disused building in London's St Katharine Docks, Decade comprises a collage of scenes penned by a team of writers, all working independently.
Their number includes Abi Morgan, creator of BBC drama The Hour, historian Simon Schama and US playwright John Logan, whose other current projects include working on the script for the next James Bond film.
"A lot of the writers felt they couldn't do justice to all those who died, the size of the event and what it meant politically," Goold explains.
"It's really hard to see the whole thing, so there was something about fractured slivers and snapshots that seemed appropriate."
The issue of what is and isn't appropriate is never far from the director's mind. One of the reasons, Goold says, why Decade has not been presented in a conventional theatre space.
"I felt the idea of rocking up on [London's] Shaftesbury Avenue at 7.30pm to see a 9/11 show was a bit tasteless.
"However, I think theatre and drama in general has always been one of the great mediums at helping us understand trauma," he adds.
"I hope we will stir the pot a bit in terms of what 9/11 might have meant to different people and allow people to reflect interestingly on that."
So will this be the "9/11 play" some people have been waiting for?
"God no," the director shudders. "We're in no way trying to be definitive.
"But at least we will grapple with it, and even if we fail it will inspire other people to look at it.
"All I can say is we're having a go."
Decade runs at St Katharine Docks in London until 15 October.


Welsh Premier League side Bangor City have broken their transfer record to sign Brayden Shaw from Accrington.

The 20-year-old will be reunited with former team-mates Gary Taylor-Fletcher and fellow summer recruits Steven Hewitt and Luke Wall.

"We are delighted with the signing of Brayden. He has experience of the WPL following his spell with the club last season," boss Kevin Nicholson said.
"We are excited about working with him in the upcoming season and expect him to positively impact our team."
Shaw extended his contract with Stanley earlier this summer and joins the Citizens for an undisclosed fee.

The conduct of Pembrokeshire council's chief executive may be examined by an independent investigator.

It follows a row over cash payments in lieu of pension contributions to Bryn Parry-Jones which the Wales Audit Office ruled to be unlawful.
Last week the council passed a vote of no confidence in him.
Councillors on a special disciplinary committee met on Friday to consider an investigation into his conduct and will meet again later in the month.
They will gather evidence and decide whether a designated independent person (DIP) should be appointed to continue the investigation.
The committee, which is politically balanced, has the power to suspend the chief executive while alleged misconduct is investigated.
Mr Parry-Jones has been under pressure to resign after it emerged that he received cash payments in lieu of pension contributions for tax purposes - a decision ruled "unlawful" by the Wales Audit Office.
In July, Pembrokeshire council said it would take no further action to reclaim the money from him and another unnamed senior officer involved in a similar arrangement.
Some staff have previously walked out in protest at Mr Parry-Jones remaining in his post.
He took a "leave of absence" in August, but it has since emerged that part of it coincided with his annual leave.
The vote of no confidence in Mr Parry-Jones a week ago saw 46 councillors against him, with three supporting him and three abstentions.
Councillors agreed he should face a disciplinary committee, which met for the first time on Friday.
Keith Lewis, a member of the ruling Independent Plus group, was voted chair of the 15-member committee, which drew up its terms of reference in public before going into private session to consider the issues.
The meeting was adjourned until 29 September.
If the committee decides that the allegations against Mr Parry-Jones should be investigated further, it must appoint an independent investigator within a month and make a decision based on their subsequent report.
An investigation by Gloucestershire Constabulary relating to the cash payments issue found no evidence to suggest any criminal offences, but another police inquiry has since been launched following the discovery of new information.


Part of the M25 in Essex was closed for more than three hours following a five vehicle crash, police said.

The collision in Thurrock happened at about 11:30 BST on the anti-clockwise road between junction 31 and 30, for Lakeside, after the Dartford Tunnel.
It involved three articulated lorries and two cars. One driver is reported to have been injured.
Both tunnels finally reopened just after 15:00 BST but there were still queues back to before junction four.
Traffic was also heavy on the clockwise carriageway over the Queen Elizabeth II bridge as drivers slowed to look at the crash site.
Filippo Marozzelli, a driver stuck in the anticlockwise queues, tweeted a picture of what he could see with the caption: "Engine off".


Shauna Coxsey became the first Briton to win the Bouldering World Cup by finishing second in the penultimate event of the season in Colorado.

The 23-year-old from Runcorn, who became an MBE last week, had finished runner-up in the past two years.
But four wins and a second place this year make her Britain's first champion in the event's 17-year history.
Sport climbing is hoping to be included in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, with a decision expected on 3 August.
Rob Adie of the British Mountaineering Council, which supports and administrates the GB climbing team, said: "It's important we get competition climbing visible in the public eye as much as possible, which Shauna's win and MBE will help us greatly to do."
Bouldering is a form of climbing usually practised on small rocks and boulders.


Two 17-year-old boys found dead at the bottom of a cliff have been named by police.

The bodies of Harry Watson and Alex Yeoman were found by officers at Huntcliff in Saltburn, at about 19:00 GMT on Friday.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances but said they were not treating the deaths as suspicious.
Tributes have been left at the scene to the boys, both from the East Cleveland area.
Harry's family described him as "precious" while Alex's family paid tribute to a "loving son" who will be "sadly missed".
Harry's mother, Tanya, also posted on Facebook: "It is with great sadness and sorrow that last night our precious 17-year-old son Harry Watson has passed away."
She said: "Please understand at this difficult time we don't have many answers but Harry is one of the gifts in life always there for everyone and anyone.
"He will always live in our hearts and we will get through this as the strong family that we are because that's what Harry would have wanted."
Both families are being supported by specialist officers, the force added.
Police continue to appeal for witnesses who may have been in the area of the Circle Sculpture at Huntcliff on Friday to contact Det Sgt Paul Hodgson on 101.


Yorkshire set up a chance of a victory over Nottinghamshire at Scarborough as Gary Ballance completed his second Championship century of the season.

England batsman Ballance (101 not out) reached a 163-ball ton, containing 14 fours, as the hosts declared on 263-4.
In reply, Notts lost Steven Mullaney for two in Jack Brooks' first over.
Tim Bresnan (2-15) took wickets in six balls but Tom Moores dug in with 41 not out, before rain saw an early close with Notts 390 behind on 61-3.
After early-morning rain, play got under way 40 minutes late and Yorkshire added 63 runs in just under an hour.
A boundary from Bresnan (35 not out) saw the home side declare, setting Notts a target of 452, and Brooks then stuck in the second over when he had Mullaney caught by Jack Leaning at slip.
Bresnan took two wickets in an over to see off Jake Libby for nine and Michael Lumb for a five-ball duck as Notts, who look favourties to be relegated to Division Two, slipped to 34-3.
But debutant Moores, who played two Championship games on loan at Lancashire earlier this season, hit eight fours in 80 minutes at the crease, before bad light took the players off the field.
Heavy rain meant play was called off for the day at 15:50 BST but with a day remaining, Yorkshire have given their hopes of a third Championship title in a row a major boost.
Nottinghamshire coach Peter Moores on his son Tom Moores:
"He played really well at a time we really needed people to play well. He had to be patient for around the first hour, but then he could get away - it's that sort of pitch.
"He will go back to the hotel tonight and get ready for tomorrow. He's got a big role to play.
"Going to Lancashire was great for him and he enjoyed his time there."


The directors of Inverness Caledonian Thistle have said a statement on the club's future is to be "issued in due course".

The club was relegated on Saturday despite the team's 3-2 win over Motherwell.
Hamilton's win over Dundee meant Caley Thistle could not leapfrog the Accies into second-bottom place.
In a post on the club's Facebook page, Inverness thanked fans for their "continued patience".
It is the second time in its history that the Highlands club has been relegated.
The last time was in 2009, but the Caley Jags successfully secured promotion in the following season.
In the message on Facebook, the club said: "The ICTFC directors appreciate your continued patience and a statement on how the club intends to move forward will be issued in due course."


Four Kashmiri students were allegedly beaten up at a private university in northern India over rumours that they were cooking beef in their hostel room.

The police intervened and defused the situation, Indian media reports said.
Most states ban cow slaughter as the animal is considered sacred by India's majority Hindu community.
Last year, a 50-year-old Muslim man was lynched by a Hindu mob in Uttar Pradesh over false rumours that his family had been storing and consuming beef.
And in January, police in Madhya Pradesh state arrested members of a Hindu group for attacking a Muslim couple travelling in a train on suspicion that they were carrying beef.
The latest incident took place on Monday at the Mewar University in the northern state of Rajasthan.
Indian media reports said the students had been beaten, and some Hindu activists came to the campus and shouted slogans, but police were called in quickly and the situation did not escalate further.
The meat was sent for forensic tests, reports quoting a police officer said.
The university said it had students from different parts of the country and that "small scuffles" sometimes occurred.


A man who wanted to "defend the UK from an attack by Isis" stockpiled weapons, explosive substances and a guide to making bombs, a jury was told.

Roger Smith was concerned about an attack similar to that on fusilier Lee Rigby in London in 2014, Nottingham Crown Court was told.
Mr Smith, 46, is accused of having explosive substances and two copies of the Anarchy Cookbook Version 2000.
The 46-year-old, of Summerwood Lane, Nottingham, has denied the charges.
Michelle Heeley, prosecuting, told jurors the Anarchy Cookbook contains instructions on how to create numerous bombs with the potential to kill people.
"This is not a man who has simply got an innocent interest in chemistry," she said.
"He has it in his mind that he is going to defend the country from an attack by Isis, and he has gathered his weapons, got his patriotic flags ready, and made explosives at home in order to do that."
Roger Smith denies two charges of having an explosive substance, including gunpowder, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, peroxide and acetone.
He also denies two charges of having a document or record for terrorist purposes, contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000, namely the Anarchy Cookbook Version 2000.
However, the prosecution told jurors there was no allegation Mr Smith was a terrorist or that he was going to personally commit a terror act.
He has not been charged with any offences in relation to the weapons, which included three bows, arrows and a flick knife.
Police first became aware of Mr Smith in June 2014 because of a dispute with his neighbours to do with hedges and garden fires, the court heard.
PCSO Matthew Holden told jurors he had several dealings with the defendant, who openly told him he had a compound bow and a set of three knives.
Mr Holden told the court: "Mr Smith explained he purchased the weapons as he believed a citizen should have the right to bear arms and should have the right to arm themselves.
"He developed it further to say he was concerned if there was a terrorist attack or Islamic attack similar to the Lee Rigby attack... he ought to be able to do something about it.
"He said words to the effect that Islam was an evil religion and Islam was at war with the West."
Mr Holden said Mr Smith also said "words to the effect that Barack Obama was probably a Muslim and referred to him as an ape".
He told the PCSO he bought the chemicals for medical purposes and experiments.
When his house was searched on 21 October 2015 he allegedly told police they were treating him "like I am a Muslim".
In interview, after being arrested, he said he made the gunpowder to entertain his nephews and nieces by lighting it in the garden.
His first copy of the Anarchy Cookbook had been downloaded off the internet, but he bought a second copy from Amazon while awaiting trial.
Ms Heeley said: "He had wanted to make the point that since you could buy it from Amazon, it must be OK to have it in this country."
However, he was charged with an extra offence for doing this.
The trial continues.


A Malaysian schoolboy whose legs were amputated after allegedly being beaten by a staff member has died in hospital, local media report.

The 11-year-old boy was among children beaten with a water hose by the assistant warden at a private Islamic school in Johor state, police say.
Excerpts from the boy's diary, published in Malaysian media, appear to describe systematic abuse.
He had been in a coma, and his father confirmed his death on Wednesday
The family had been saying prayers for his recovery at the time, he told The Star newspaper. The boy had been due to have his right arm amputated.
The boy and 14 of his classmates are believed to have been beaten with a water hose on 24 March for making too much noise in the school's assembly building, police say.
His diary said that if one student made an error at the school in Kota Tinggi, in southern Malaysia, the whole group would be punished.
It said they would often volunteer to be beaten first, so they could try to sleep before waking for prayers at three in the morning.
"Dear Allah, please open my parents' heart to allow me to transfer to another school because I cannot stand it any more," one diary entry quoted by the Malay Mail online newspaper said.
The assistant warden accused of beating him has been arrested and police have been looking at CCTV footage showing some of the abuse.
The case has shocked people in Muslim-majority country, one of the most affluent in South East Asia, and has led to calls from parents for tougher scrutiny of privately-run religious schools where students memorise the Koran.
The Federation of National Associations of al-Quran Tahfiz Institutions (Pinta), an umbrella group for religious schools, said it had seen CCTV footage which showed the boy being beaten on the soles of his feet.
But Pinta's president, Mohd Zahid Mahmood, told reporters the public should not to jump to conclusions about the case but allow the authorities to complete their investigation.
The school's head had declined to comment on the alleged beatings, citing an ongoing police investigation.


Nicky Clark scored four goals as Dunfermline Athletic swept aside Elgin City in Scottish League Cup Group B.

The striker got his first after 10 minutes for the Scottish Championship outfit and had already added his second before Paul Paton made it three.
Clark competed his hat-trick before half-time before he and a last-minute goal from Calum Smith completed the rout of the League Two visitors.
Peterhead edged out East Fife 1-0 in the other group game.
The side relegated from League One last season got the better of the side now in the division above thanks to Rory McAllister's 10th-minute strike.
Meanwhile, in Group E, Clyde survived a late fright as Jim Chapman got one over his former club, Annan Athletic, in his first game as manager with a 2-1 win.
Chapman switched to Broadwood this summer, taking four of his squad with him.
But it was another summer signing, Jack Breslin, the former Hamilton Academical defender, who gave the Bully Wee the lead after 57 minutes.
Former Dundee United and Blackburn Rovers striker David Goodwillie looked to have secured the points with a minute of normal time remaining.
However, Steven Swinglehurst threatened a late comeback in stoppage time.
Clyde go top of the table on goals scored, ahead of League One outfit Ayr United, who surprised Premiership side Kilmarnock 1-0 in Friday's Ayrshire derby.

One of the world's largest and smelliest flowers has blossomed for the first time in Scotland.

Visitors are expected to flock to The Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh (RBGE) at the peak of the plant's pungency over the next three days.
The giant Amorphophallus Titanum has a strong smell of rotting flesh.
Horticulturist Sadie Barber says she was ''thrilled to finally see and smell" the plant after "12 years of careful cultivation''.
The plant, which has the heaviest corm ever recorded (153.9kgs) has produced seven leaves in the 12 years that it has been at the garden, so horticulturists are "delighted to finally" have a flower.
Ms Barber, who was gifted the corm in 2003 by Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, Netherlands, said: "We are thrilled to finally see, and smell, this incredible curiosity of the plant world after 12 years of careful cultivation by the Horticulture team at RBGE.
"The spadix has so far reached an impressive height of 255cm and may even grow a few centimetres more in the next days.
"It really is one of the most extraordinary flowering plants we have ever seen, and great to think that something that grows naturally so far away can be enjoyed by visitors to the Garden here in Edinburgh.''


A disabled man on a mobility scooter has been slashed twice with a knife during a street robbery in Belfast.

The victim, who is in his 50s, was approached by two men at Peters Hill in the north of the city at about 14:45 BST on Tuesday.
One of the robbers held him at knife-point and demanded money.
When the victim refused he was slashed on the arm.  He then handed over cash but was then slashed again on the arm before the robbers left the scene.
The disabled man was treated in hospital for injuries that are not believed to be life- threatening.
Police said the robbers, both in their early 20s, made off on foot in the direction of the Falls Road in west Belfast.


An Indian mountaineer declared missing on Mount Everest this weekend has been found dead, Nepali officials have confirmed.

The body of Ravi Kumar, from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, was spotted inside a crevice.
Three other climbers died over the same weekend and over a dozen were rescued after running into difficulties.
Mr Kumar had successfully scaled Everest, but was separated from his guide on the climb down.
He is believed to have fallen almost 200m (657 feet) to his death.
The guide was earlier found unconscious at Camp 4, just below 8,000 metres, with severe frostbite.
The tourism agency that facilitated Mr Kumar's climb told the Press Trust of India news agency that it would not be possible to retrieve his body immediately.


Miranda Richardson and Anna Chancellor will take the lead roles in a new BBC One adaptation of Mapp And Lucia.

League of Gentleman star Steve Pemberton will adapt EF Benson's novels about two ladies who vie for social prestige in small-town England.
The characters were previously played by Prunella Scales and Geraldine McEwan in a Channel 4 series in 1985.
Richardson, who will play Elizabeth Mapp, said: "I cannot wait to get my teeth into Mapp, and of course, Lucia."
"I am so looking forward to a summer of hard work and I hope, great fun," said the Parade's End star.
Chancellor - whose recent TV credits include Fleming and The Hour - said she was "thrilled to be playing the glorious Lucia".
"I hope I can do justice to EF Benson's wonderful creations," she added
The comic drama, set in the 1930s, focuses on the snobberies and pretensions of life in the quaint English town of Tilling - and the rivalry which ensues between the visiting Mrs Emmeline Lucas (Lucia) and Tilling socialite Elizabeth Mapp.
"I feel sure viewers will relish their time in Tilling, and will enjoy watching the slyly scheming Mapp take on the gloriously haughty Lucia in a dizzying round of bitter bridge parties, devious dinners and malicious musical evenings," said screenwriter Pemberton.
Pemberton - who is currently starring in BBC One drama Happy Valley - described himself as a "long-time fan" of Benson's six "deplorably funny novels".
"But be warned," he added "this is no jolly period romp. This is a series about a war. May the worst-behaved woman win."
Mark Gatiss, Pemberton's League of Gentleman co-star, will join the cast as Major Benjy in the three hour-long films. No transmission date has been announced.


Leeds Rhinos became the first Super League club since 2008 to win the World Club Challenge with a compelling win over NRL champions Manly Sea Eagles.

Leeds took the game to their opponents, claiming the first two tries through Kallum Watkins and Ryan Hall.
Brett Stewart struck back for Manly, but Hall grabbed a second try to make it 16-6 to the home side at half-time.
Daly Cherry-Evans' try gave Manly hope, but late scores from Ben Jones-Bishop and Carl Ablett decided it.
Leeds' victory was their third world crown, equalling the number of wins achieved by both Wigan and Bradford, but it was their first in front of their own fans at Headingley.
It's still sinking in to be honest. I feel very proud and very humble. I'll get a bit excited when nobody is watching
As they have done at international level, Australian sides have dominated their English opponents in this fixture for the past three seasons, a run that began with Leeds' 28-20 defeat by Manly in 2009.
With 12 members of the side beaten that night still in the Rhinos squad (10 of whom were involved in this match), revenge was high on the hosts' agenda, as well as national pride.
Brian McDermott's men achieved both courtesy of an admittedly varied performance that brimmed with attacking ferocity in the first half and depended on defensive determination in the second.
They were initially assisted somewhat by the lack of preparation afforded to opponents who have yet to start their domestic season and opted against warm-up games in this country in the build-up to this match.
From the first pass after the kick-off, Jason King's knock-on gifted the incentive to Leeds, and a sloppy offside soon after only encouraged them further.
The Sea Eagles survived the early onslaught, but the Rhinos would not be denied for long.
With 18 minutes gone and Leeds deep in Manly territory, Brent Webb's superbly-timed short pass allowed Watkins to break through and score, Kevin Sinfield adding the extras.
Soon after, Hall intercepted what looked certain to be a try-scoring Brett Stewart pass in the corner, running the length of the field to double Leeds' advantage, sparking jubilation amongst the vast majority of the 21,000 fans inside Headingley.
Manly hit back with a neat try from Brett Stewart, following the concession of a penalty by Ablett, but Leeds would have the final say of the half when Hall rose above two converging Manly men to pluck a cross-field Sinfield kick out of the air and dive over from close-range.
The second half was a different story as the Australian side illustrated that rustiness is temporary, but class is permanent.
Assisted by a succession of penalties conceded by the home side, Manly dominated possession and brought themselves to within four points when Cherry-Evans darted over the line and former St Helens star Jamie Lyon kicked a second goal.
Sensing their opportunity, the visitors pressed for a lead and thought they had found it when Steve Matai crashed over after collecting a high kick. However, upon consulting the video referee, official Ashley Klein ruled it out for a push on Watkins in the build-up.
Leeds' second-half resolve was rewarded when Rob Burrow's classy break allowed Jones-Bishop to score in the corner to all but give the Rhinos victory. Ablett touched down from Sinfield's grubber kick to ensure that was the case.
Leeds coach Brian McDermott:
"We did it the tough way and I don't think we'd want it any other way. It was an old-fashioned game of rugby league.
"We looked scruffy at times but we were brave and courageous. There was a period in the second half when we were gone.
"I wouldn't say we were at our most vintage offensively, but you deserve to win World Club Challenges when you defend like that. It came down to how much the fellas were prepared to bend their backs."
Manly coach Geoff Toovey:
"We prepared very well for this game. We had several months of pre-season training and played a trial match so there are no excuses.
"We didn't come up to our usual mark. I'm very disappointed with our execution but all credit to Leeds.
"They did all those one percenters better than we did."

Education Minister Huw Lewis praised the "high outcomes" for key subjects such as maths, further maths, and French.

But it is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to the Stem subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths).
Fewer pupils sat the biology exam, and the proportion gaining the top grades (A and A*) fell from 24.3% last year to 23.9% this year. Having said that, more pupils got an A*, up from 5.9% to 8.3% this year.
Chemistry entrants were also lower this year but the numbers getting the top grades stayed pretty much the same: 33.8% got an A or A* last year compared to 33.9% this year.
Again here there has been an increase in those gaining an A* grade: up to 9.3% from 8.9% last year.
In physics, the numbers sitting the exam stayed pretty much the same as last year. And while slightly more pupils got top grades, up to 28% from 27.8%, fewer of those got the very top, A* grade. That was down from 8.3% last year to 7.9% this year.
In maths there was a slight increase in the proportion of pupils gaining an A and A* as well as those gaining the top grade. The proportion getting an A* went from 17% last year to 19% this year.
Mr Lewis said: "I am particularly encouraged to see the increase of A*s at biology, chemistry and maths.
"These subjects are of real importance to a modern and highly skilled economy.
It was hit and miss when it came to modern foreign languages.
Those studying French did well, overall. More pupils got an A or A* and there was an increase in the A* too, from 4.1% last year to 5.7% this year.
However, German saw a serious decline in the top grades. The proportion gaining an A or A* fell from 34.2% last year to 22.3% this year. At the same time, those getting an A* went down from 7.9% to 4.1%
Only Spanish fares worse in terms of the top grade. The proportion of Spanish entrants gaining an A* went down from 9% last year to 4.1% this year.
It comes as there are fears about cuts to the funding of modern foreign languages.
Dr Philip Dixon, director of the union ATL Cymru said the results suggested the "disastrous decline" in modern foreign language take-up had been arrested.
The only other subject which saw a significant drop in top grades was Welsh as a first language. While there was an increase in the number sitting the exam, the proportion gaining an A and A* fell from 35.7% last year to 20% this year. At the same time, those getting an A* went down from 4.6% to 2.9%
English saw an increase in entrants, but a fall in the top grades. 16.7% gained an A or A* this year. That's down from 17.1% last year. And at A* the proportion fell from 5.3% to 5% this year.


Disciplinary action against black and minority ethnic (BME) workers at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is disproportionately high, Unison says.

The trust has about 6,200 staff and in 2013 there were 78 disciplinary cases.
Oxfordshire Unison Health branch said half - 39 - were against BME staff, who make up about 20% of total staff.
The trust said it took equality and diversity seriously and did not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.
Unison said the figures "raised questions as to the effectiveness of the trust's equality monitoring procedures".
Ian McKendrick, from the union, said: "I think people are being judged negatively.
"I don't think the people doing the judging are necessarily aware of what they're doing."
In a statement, the trust said the safety of patients was its top priority and that disciplinary and conduct investigations were undertaken when there was evidence of poor and unsafe care.
It said Unison's figures were "broadly correct".
"However, the data set for one year is small so care is needed when drawing overall conclusions," it added.
It said there was no indication that managers focused more on BME staff, and that its data was broadly in line with national figures, citing a report from NHS Employers in 2010.
The trust said diversity and equal opportunity training was mandatory for all staff and managers involved in recruitment and disciplinary hearings.


Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson has said the IRA's so-called army council must be disbanded.

The Democrat Unionist Party (DUP) leader said he accepted assurances from the Chief Constable that the IRA leadership was not directing terrorism, but must be removed.
"There is no purpose for having a structure if you do not intend to act in a paramilitary fashion, so the requirement from the people of Northern Ireland is for the army council and any other part of the IRA's structure to be completely disbanded," he said.
"I accept what the Chief Constable says, that they are not meeting for any terrorist purpose, but we require the removal of the IRA's army council and we have always made that clear."
Those comments were not made after Tuesday's publication of the paramilitary assessment report by the Secretary of State Theresa Villiers.
They were made on 3 September 2008, after Mr Robinson and a delegation of senior DUP members met former Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde at police headquarters in east Belfast.
The comments clearly demonstrate that the fact that the army council is still operating came as no surprise to the DUP.
The IRA never issued a statement saying its leadership was disbanding, so the assessment published on Tuesday simply reflects what many have known or suspected for many years.
It also suggests that the body that directed the IRA's campaign of violence is now directing Sinn FÃ©in's strategy.
Ms Villiers told the House of Commons that the assessment states that "PIRA members believe that PAC (Provisional Army Council) oversees both PIRA and Sinn FÃ©in with an overarching strategy."
She said the police and MI5 believe "this has a wholly political focus."
The assessment also reveals that the IRA has retained some "departments" and some "regional command structures".
It even suggests that the continued existence of these leadership structures, and those of the loyalist paramilitary groups the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), was necessary for the organisations to persuade their members to follow a political path.
"Much of the leaderships' ability to influence, restrain and manage the expectations of its members draws on the authority conferred through these hierarchies," it says.
The report mirrors Sir Hugh Orde's assurance to the DUP seven years ago that the IRA army council is not involved in directing terrorism.
It concludes that: "The PIRA of the Troubles era is well beyond recall.
"It is our firm assessment that PIRA's leadership remains committed to the peace process and its aim of achieving a united Ireland by political means.
"The group is not involved in targeting or conducting terrorist attacks against the state or its representatives."
Like the confirmation of the continued existence of the army council, the conclusion that members of the Provisional IRA still have access to some weapons is not a new revelation.
While the organisation was supposed to have completed decommissioning its weapons 10 years ago, there was always a strong suspicion that some units retained guns and possibly some explosives.
The paramilitary watchdog, the Independent Monitoring Commission, had previously stated that some quantities of weaponry under the control of the IRA, as well as the UDA and UVF, may not haven been decommissioned.
On the murder of Kevin McGuigan in east Belfast in August, the report says it judges the assessment put forward by Chief Constable George Hamilton to remain accurate.
That assessment was that members of the Provisional IRA were involved, but that their actions were not sanctioned by the organisation's leadership.
As if to reinforce this point, the report states that "some activity takes place without the knowledge or direction of the leadership".


Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss has a new project - a series of original dramatic shorts for BBC Four charting a century of the UK gay experience.

Grouped together under the title Queers, the eight 15-minute monologues begin with The Man on the Platform, set in 1917 and written by Gatiss himself.
The monologues will be staged at the Old Vic theatre in London in July before their television airings.
Gatiss said he was "thrilled and delighted" to be curating the series.
"It's a marvellous opportunity to celebrate LGBT life and culture, to see how far we have come and how far we still have to go," he went on.
Actress and singer Jackie Clune and Brian Fillis, of An Englishman in New York and The Curse of Steptoe fame, will also write pieces for the project.
The other five writers - who include Guardian journalist Gareth McLean and former UK poetry slam champion Keith Jarrett - will all be making their TV writing debuts.
The pieces will address the  Wolfenden Report of 1957, which recommended that homosexuality should no longer be a crime; the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which made gay relationships legal for men aged 21 and over; and the HIV crisis that decimated the gay community in the 1980s.
According to BBC Four, they will "mark and celebrate some of the most poignant, funny, entertaining, tragic and riotous moments of British gay history and the very personal rites of passage of gay Britons through the last 100 years".
Gatiss made his name as a member of the League of Gentlemen comedy troupe and went on to write for and appear in Doctor Who.
He plays Mycroft Holmes in Sherlock and was recently seen as a debauched Prince Regent in period drama Taboo.

Manager Ronny Deila singled out teenager Kieran Tierney and veteran Kris Commons for praise following Celtic's 5-0 win over Dundee United.

Left-back Tierney was man-of-the-match as the champions moved four points clear at the top of the Premiership.
And Commons scored twice in a one-sided contest at Celtic Park.
On Tierney, Deila told BBC Scotland: "I have high hopes for him. He likes to get forward and we are going to work hard to make sure he gets even better."
The 18-year-old was upended for the penalty Commons converted to make it 3-0 just before half-time and revelled in an attacking role as United offered timid resistance.
"He's a credit to the Academy, producing players like that and more are coming. I know it," enthused Deila.
"It's great to get players like that into the team.
"He can go all the way. He has a great attitude and he has the physical, technical and tactical attributes that you need.
"You need to be mentally strong to play for Celtic and he hates getting beaten."
Leigh Griffiths opened the scoring, with Dedryk Boyata adding a header before Commons struck either side of half-time and Scott Brown ended the rout late on.
It was a good response after the disappointing midweek Europa League loss away to Molde, albeit against disorganised and dispirited opponents.
"I'm so proud of the boys, they really answered after Thursday," added Deila.
"It was a great performance and a good team spirit as well."
Commons, who issued an public apology for his reaction to being substituted in Norway, scored a penalty just before the interval and found the top corner with a wonderful shot on 53 minutes.
"He creates things all the time and he worked hard defensively," said Deila of the 32-year-old midfielder.
"He put in a good performance and I'm happy that we have him for one-and-a-half years more.
"He has always been an important player for Celtic. He has done so well in so many matches."


Islamist militant group al-Shabab has said it carried out Sunday's attack in Somalia's southern city of Baidoa that killed at least 30 people.

A car bomb exploded outside a restaurant as people were watching the English Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal.
In a second explosion, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a busy junction.
This is the fourth major al-Shabab attack in Somalia since the beginning of the year.
It came on the same day as countries which contribute to the African Union force in Somalia, Amisom, pledged "to reinforce military operations in Somalia, to effectively counter threats from al-Shabab".
Africa Live: BBC news updates
New questions for African force in Somalia
Who are al-Shabab?
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud held an emergency cabinet meeting on Sunday evening in response to the Baidoa attack, and Security Minister Abdirizak Mohamed Omar called for extra laws to help the government fight the militant group.
AU representative in Somalia Francisco Madeira condemned the attack saying he was "saddened by the loss of innocent lives through acts of terror committed by ruthless individuals who have no value for life".
In addition to the 30 deaths, the attacks injured 60 people who are being treated in hospital, a local journalist told the BBC.
15 January - on a Kenyan base in el-Ade that Somalia's president said killed at least 180 soldiers
21 January - on a restaurant at Mogadishu's Lido beach killing 20 people
26 February - on Mogadishu's SYL hotel killing nine people
28 February - on a restaurant and busy junction in Baidoa killing at least 30 people
Baidoa is being protected by Ethiopian soldiers, who make up part of the 22,000-strong Amisom force.
Troops from Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Sierra Leone and Djibouti are also part of the force that supports the Somali government in its attempt to gain control over the country.
Heads of state from the troop supplying countries said after a meeting in Djibouti on Sunday that they were concerned about the "decision by the European Union to reduce financial support to Amisom... by 20% especially during this critical phase of operations".
The EU, which pays for troop allowances, decided to cut its funding earlier this month.
The leaders of the countries contributing troops to Amisom have called for an urgent review of their military response to al-Shabab, following weeks of sustained violence.
In addition to the weekend's attacks, jihadi fighters have clashed with Amisom troops in different parts of the country, forcing the peacekeepers to withdraw from some areas.
Somalia's allies now say more needs to be done to stem these attacks.
The Amisom nations agreed at Sunday's meeting in Djibouti that they need more funding and logistical support for their own operations, not to mention helping the Somali National Army stand on its own feet.
The leaders complained that the absence of their troops in some key regions provided a safe haven for al-Shabab.


Ofsted chairman David Hoare went "over the top" when he called the Isle of Wight a "ghetto" but should not resign, Sir Michael Wilshaw says.

Ofsted's chief inspector of schools told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Hoare had been "a good chair".
Mr Hoare has apologised for his comments about the island, in which he also said "there has been inbreeding".
He said he had been trying to highlight the unacceptably poor performance of schools on the island over many years.
His comments, made at a recent teaching conference and highlighted in the Times Educational Supplement, prompted a call for him to resign. He has apologised for any upset or offence he may have caused.
Sir Michael said: "He's handled the board well and he's passionate about raising standards.
"On this occasion he used inappropriate language and he's apologised profusely for that because he's offended people in the Isle of Wight, and he should have done that."
Sir Michael added that while Mr Hoare's words had been "inappropriate", he was raising an important issue.
"He has drawn everyone's attention to the problems of areas like the Isle of Wight and coastal resorts. We undertook a focused inspection of the Isle of Wight four years ago and found standards to be terribly, pitifully low.
"The reason why London and other big cities are doing well is because they've got good heads and they've got good teachers and people are attracted to those areas.
"It's much more difficult to attract staff to areas which are less popular and where the challenges are that much greater."
Mr Hoare, who has a home on the mainland near the island, said education on the Isle of Wight was often a topic of conversation with his dinner party guests.
"They think of it as holiday land. But it is shocking," he said. "It's a ghetto; there has been inbreeding.
"Seven state schools were all less than good. There is a mass of crime, drug problems, huge unemployment."
Ofsted said the chairman had been expressing his personal views and they did not reflect those of the inspectorate or its chief inspector.
But Isle of Wight council leader Jonathan Bacon said he would contact Education Secretary Justine Greening to seek an explanation from Mr Hoare for his comments.
He said: "David Hoare's comments about 'inbreeding' and 'ghettos' on the Isle of Wight are truly offensive to the people of the Isle of Wight and bear no relation to the facts."
And Ms Lowthion, who is a teacher on the island, said: "'I am absolutely appalled that the chairman of Ofsted thinks it helpful, truthful or professional to describe our families and young people in that way.
"I think it reflects more on himself than it does on our hard-working teachers and schools.
"It is well-known that coastal towns need investment and support to improve education standards and participation.
"He has insulted residents of coastal towns across the country and should resign."
Following the outcry, Mr Hoare said: "My intention was to highlight how concerned I am about the unacceptably poor performance of schools on the Isle of Wight over many years and how this is damaging the prospects of young people who live on the island.
"Those who know me will realise that I am passionate about improving outcomes for children from our most disadvantaged communities and my comments were made in this context."


Families who wrongly paid for care home fees have been paid back more than £70m by the Welsh Government.

Many elderly people sold assets to pay for places in residential homes, when the NHS should have paid for it due to their health conditions.
Health boards in Wales have received about 7,500 claims for wrong payments made since 1996.
The Welsh Government said 70% of these had been completed and "just over £70 million" has been repaid.
According to rules, anyone who has assets worth more than £30,000 (including the value of their home if it is unoccupied) pay the full cost of their residential care.
But they do not have to pay if they suffer from certain health problems - then the NHS foots the bill.
One family from Camarthenshire told BBC Wales how they fought for years to get back the money they had wrongly paid.
Dai Davies' cousin, Idris, paid more than £300,000 for his care before he died three years ago.
Mr Davies said he felt it had been his responsibility to claim back as much of the money as possible.
"I don't think they have been completely fair as people have worked throughout their lives... When they want health care for themselves they should pay less as they have paid for it once," he added.
Hugh James Solicitors, who successfully supported families' claims, said some had sold their homes to pay for the care.
Mari Rosser, a partner at the law firm, said: "These decisions are made when people are in very difficult circumstances.
"Maybe they have been through some severe illness and they face serious loss, for example the loss of assets and possibly losing homes. Therefore, we have successfully challenged on behalf of these people, who are in serious difficult circumstances."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Earlier this year we introduced an amended process in order to accelerate the speed at which claims are processed.
"We have also developed common reporting criteria across all health boards to ensure that progress in processing claims, and problems or challenges, are captured and managed as early as possible."


The English Football League described the Premier League as "a friend" after criticism from five former Football Association chiefs.

An address to the Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport committee said the top flight's financial power has a knock-on effect "through the football pyramid".
But an EFL statement said the Premier League is "not an enemy of the game".
"The solidarity agreement between the Premier League and EFL benefits all EFL clubs," it added.
On Monday, David Bernstein, David Davies, Greg Dyke, Alex Horne and David Triesman said the Football Association has to "self-reform" and the governing body for the game in England is compelled to contribute tens of millions of pounds to the Premier League, rather than the grassroots of the game.
"The EFL has seen the letter written by Messrs Bernstein, Davies, Dyke, Horne and Triesman, regarding governance of the FA," said the EFL.
"The value of the contracted relationship between the Premier League and the EFL is more than £100m per season and the EFL views the Premier League as a friend, not an enemy of the game, as suggested by this letter."


Facebook has announced a "slimmed down" version of its Messenger app for countries where older smartphones and slower net speeds are more common.

3 October 2016 Last updated at 11:57 BST
The company said Messenger Lite had the "core features" of the full app such as the ability to share text and photos.
The BBC's Chris Foxx asked Facebook's Stan Chudnovsky why the company had two competing message services - WhatsApp and Messenger.


Nathan Delfouneso came off the bench to score in added time and ensure Blackpool earned a point against visitors Yeovil Town.

Delfouneso, in his first match back at Blackpool after rejoining from Swindon, tapped home from close range in the 95th minute at Bloomfield Road.
Yeovil took the lead after 34 minutes. Tom Eaves did well to hook the ball to the far post, where Francois Zoko beat his man to tap into an empty net.
Blackpool deservedly drew level in the 70th minute thanks to brilliant play by Delfouneso, who broke down the left and crossed for Kelvin Mellor to tap home at the far post.
Then, entirely against the run of play, Darren Ward slotted Yeovil ahead from 12 yards after goalkeeper Sam Slocombe could only parry Eaves' cross into his path.
But Blackpool denied the visitors in the fifth of nine added minutes as Delfouneso pounced to turn the ball home from two yards.

The Queen has joined around 1,000 veterans and their families in a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey to mark the 70th anniversary of VE Day.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said the veterans had ensured "victory over the greatest darkness of the 20th Century".
Crowds gathered to watch a military parade passing through Westminster towards Buckingham Palace.
It was followed by a fly-past of World War Two aircraft.
The events were held to commemorate the day, 70 years ago, when Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies, bringing peace to Europe after nearly six years of war.
The Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and Prime Minister David Cameron were at the service, which was led by the Dean of Westminster.
Representatives of the Allied nations and Commonwealth countries that fought alongside Britain also attended.
Young cadets read prayers which had been said in Westminster Abbey during the hourly services on VE Day in 1945.
Actor Simon Russell Beale also read from the VE Day speech of King George VI, the Queen's father, who was monarch at the time.
There was a fly-past over central London by the Red Arrows and WW2 aircraft, including Spitfire and Hurricane fighters.
The Lancaster bomber was also due to take part in the fly-past but an engine fire onboard the plane on Thursday has meant it has been grounded.
The events marked the culmination of the UK's VE Day commemorations.
On Saturday evening, thousands of spectators, including WW2 veterans, gathered at an aircraft hangar-style stage in London's Horse Guards Parade to see musical and dance acts influenced by the era and readings by actors.
Performers included Katherine Jenkins, Pixie Lott and the rock band Status Quo.
Actress Jane Horrocks was overcome with emotion as she read the final letter written by Lieutenant George F Morrison of the 7th Battalion of the Royal Highlanders, which was sent on to his mother following his death.
Church and cathedral bells rang out at 11:00 BST on Saturday - in a symbolic gesture to signify the end to the years of conflict, which saw church bells largely silenced - although they were sounded in November 1942 to mark the success at El Alamein.
Celebrations were also held in the Channel Islands - the only part of the British Isles to be occupied by the Nazis in WW2.
This has been a day for those who remember, for those who 70 years ago celebrated VE Day and mourned those who wouldn't be coming home.
The theme of the service was thanksgiving for reconciliation and unity as well as prayers for peace.
The pews of the Abbey were filled with decorated veterans - some in uniform, many a little unsteady on their feet but all wearing their medals with pride.
Veterans and young military cadets delivered many of the readings and prayers.
It was striking to hear the voices of those who had seen and heard so much during World War Two followed by the crisp, optimism of those who hope they will never have to experience anything like it.
After the Queen left, the veterans lingered in the Abbey. A national service of thanksgiving this may have been but for many of those here it was an intensely personal service, a moment to remember the events of 70 years.

Dougie Freedman has been appointed Nottingham Forest manager after the club sacked Stuart Pearce.

Pearce, who took over last summer, was dismissed on Sunday, with Freedman, 40, named as his successor soon afterwards.
Forest began the season well but Pearce, 52, has paid for a run of six defeats in seven, though he has been offered an advisory role at the club.
Freedman, a former Forest player, has managed in the Championship with Crystal Palace and Bolton Wanderers.
Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi said dismissing Pearce, who spent 12 years at the club as a player and had a spell as caretaker-manager in 1997, had been his "hardest footballing decision".
In a statement, he added: "Unfortunately, recent results convinced me it was best to pursue alternative managerial options. I hope our supporters understand my decision.
"Stuart is someone I have always admired and that will never change. For that reason I have offered him an advisory role at the club, which I sincerely hope he accepts so we can all move forward together."
Pearce is understood to be considering the offer.

Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Millwall left Forest 12th in the table and the club said Pearce had been relieved of his role after "long discussions" with Al Hasawi.
The pressure had been growing on Pearce after Forest slipped from the top of the Championship to mid-table with a run of three wins in 23 matches.
A 2-0 home defeat by Sheffield Wednesday last month prompted Pearce to describe Forest's slump as the "hardest period of my management and coaching career".
Pearce's management style was recently criticised by former England defender Danny Mills, who worked under him for a short time at Manchester City.
"After 10 games people work him out," said Mills. "He gets teams going but after a while, players aren't stupid, they're not naive and they start to suss him out. He doesn't have the depth of football ability to back it up."
Freedman enjoyed a promising start to his managerial career, taking over at Crystal Palace in January 2011 and guiding the struggling club to Championship safety.
In 2012 the Scot opted to join another side in that division, Bolton. He steered them clear of a relegation battle and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the play-offs.
He left the club in 2014 by mutual consent after a run of one win in the first 10 league games of the season.
Forest said they will announce further details of Freedman's role at the City Ground "in due course" and he is expected to be presented at a news conference on Tuesday.
Listen again to BBC Radio Nottingham's Matchtalk special on Pearce's departure.


Is it snowing in India's tropical southern city of Bangalore?

The picture above would certainly make you think so.
Unfortunately, the reality is quite different: what looks like snow is actually harmful snow-white froth that floats up from the city's largest lake and spills over into neighbouring areas.
Over the years, the 9,000-acre Bellandur lake in India's technology capital has been polluted by chemicals and sewage.
IT professional Debasish Ghosh has been taking pictures of the lake of "harmful snowy froth" for months now. Here is a selection of his pictures.


Trains between London and Gatwick Airport continue to be disrupted after tracks were flooded in south London.

Many services were cancelled after a water main burst near South Croydon station on Monday, causing a landslip.
Southern said four out of five lines were now available and a full service was planned on Wednesday morning.
A reduced half-hourly Gatwick Express route has operating, and there were restrictions between London Bridge, Uckfield and Reigate stations.
South Croydon and Purley Oaks stations remained closed all day.
There were timetable changes to many First Capital Connect routes between Bedford, London and Brighton, with some trains cancelled.
Travellers have been told they can check details of changes at the National Rail Enquiries website.
Thames Water said it was "really sorry for the disruption", which was caused by a burst main at Water Tower Hill.
"We had a team on site to deal with the burst within an hour," it added.
"Despite the water pipe being buried 4.5m (15ft) below ground, we were able to shut the main off within two hours, without disrupting water supplies to 15,000 customers."
Network Rail said there was a significant amount of water on the track, along with mud and other debris.
Engineers worked through the night to stabilise the embankment.


A technology support company is to create 330 jobs in County Donegal over the next three years.

Pramerica Systems Ireland currently employs 1,250 people in Letterkenny.
A subsidiary of US-based Prudential Financial, it provides business and software support for its parent company.
It is building a new campus in the town that could accommodate 1,800 staff, and it says there is the potential for further growth.
The firm, founded in County Donegal in 2000, will be recruiting senior IT managers, project managers, business analysts, data scientists, actuaries and accountants.
It will also have roles in technology support and professional services.
Pramerica vice president Gerard Grant said it was an exciting time for the company.
"We've been here for 15 years and have just had a fantastic experience - we started off originally with just eight employees and we've grown to 1,250," he told BBC Radio Foyle.
"Today we're announcing the 330 jobs expansion and, off the back of that, a brand new campus just a kilometre away to house that expansion."
Mr Grant said salaries would be highly competitive.
"We are immediately hiring and there's nearly 70 openings on our website right now for people across legal, digital, data science, software development and a range of support jobs," he said.
"These are professional jobs, not low paid jobs - there's a lot of talent out there that we would hope to attract to Donegal."


Former Wales Under-20 centre Adam Hughes has returned to Newport Gwent Dragons on a three-month loan from Exeter Chiefs.

Hughes, 25, made his Dragons debut in 2010 and appeared 80 times for the region before leaving in February 2014 to join Bristol.
He moved to Exeter Chiefs on a two-year deal in June 2014 and made 10 appearances for the English Premiership side.
"It's great to be back at Rodney Parade and at the Newport Gwent Dragons," Hughes said.
"I noticed that the Dragons were suffering with injuries in the centre and I felt that with the return of the internationals at the Chiefs my opportunity to start was slightly shunted.
"So I made the decision to come here on loan and play some rugby."


About 2,500 people have marched in Kenya's Garissa town in a show of defiance against militant Islamist group al-Shabab following its deadly assault on a local university.

Students have also protested in the capital, Nairobi, ahead of a candle-lit vigil demanding more protection from the al-Qaeda-linked Somali militants.
The assault on Garissa University on Thursday killed 148 people.
Five Kenyans have appeared in court for suspected links with the attackers.
The court in Nairobi agreed to the prosecution's request to detain them for another 30 days, while police investigate whether they supplied weapons to the attackers, Kenya's Capital FM reports.
A sixth suspect, a Tanzanian, is being held in the north-eastern town of Garissa, which is about 150km (90 miles) from the border with Somalia.
Last Thursday's attack was the deadliest in Kenya by al-Shabab, which was formed in neighbouring Somalia about eight years ago.
The militants have promised a "long, gruesome war" against Kenya after Kenya sent troops to Somalia in 2011 to fight them.
The BBC's Bashkash Jugsooda'ay in Garissa says both Muslims and Christians took part in the march and promised to co-operate with the security forces to flush out militants who may be hiding in their community.
However, protesters were also critical of the security forces, saying they were slow in their response to the assault, he says.
They pointed out that both the army and police had bases in Garissa. Yet, four gunmen managed to storm the campus, taking students hostage in dormitories and killing them in a day-long attack.
Analysis: Anne Soy, BBC Africa, Nairobi
There is a hashtag trending on Twitter - #147notjustanumber in memory of the people killed in the Garissa attacks last week.
Kenyans are angry. They feel the government has not done enough to ensure security, especially as there had been material circulating on social media warning about attacks.
Unfortunately it looks like this is leading to profiling of Kenyans of Somali ethnicity - and there are many of them.
Latest updates from Kenya
The government says the security forces responded swiftly, and saved the lives of about 500 other students.
The security forces also came under heavy criticism at the protest in Nairobi by several hundred university students.
Protesters said they were no longer prepared to be "at the mercy of al-Shabab" and demanded that the government tighten security at universities and schools across Kenya.
Demonstrators also mourned the dead, holding placards which read "You remain in our hearts!".
There are emotional scenes at a mortuary in Nairobi, as relatives continue to identify the dead.

It is hard to imagine the level of fear that Niki Lauda experienced when he first climbed back into the cockpit of the car that nearly killed him.

The Austrian had been given the last rites as he lay in a hospital bed, bandages covering the horrific burns on his face following a fiery crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix.
However, just six weeks later he was behind the wheel of his Ferrari for the Italian Grand Prix to resume his now legendary title battle with James Hunt.
"I nearly, I don't think I can say, but, you know... in my pants because I had such a panic," said Lauda, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live as part of its Italian Grand Prix preview show.
"I could not get it out of my head. I said what is wrong with you? It was the pressure I put myself under and when I changed it, it worked out."
Lauda, who is now non-executive chairman at the all conquering Mercedes Formula 1 team, had won his first world title in 1975 and was leading the championship when he crashed at the Nurburgring.
During his 42-day absence from the track, Hunt had whittled down Lauda's advantage to just two points.
For Lauda's friends and colleagues a return at Monza was far too soon. For Lauda it was not soon enough.
"The longer you wait, the more problems come," he added.
"Yes, I had pain, logically because of all the burns on my head, but nevertheless the most important thing was to get back into the car as quickly as possible."
Lauda played down his condition to get the all clear from doctors, but while he was confident he could cope physically, it was a different matter mentally.
"I tried out the Ferrari car and everything was OK, but I came to Monza on Friday and suddenly the whole crash overtook me," he said. "I panicked, I was afraid and couldn't make it.
"I went back to the hotel, thought about what happened and then said to myself: 'Come back on Saturday, take the pressure off, drive for yourself and don't look at timing sheets and the other people.' That is what I did."
Lauda went on to qualify fifth, but the best was yet to come as he finished fourth in the race itself, while Hunt retired, allowing Lauda to extend his advantage in the championship once again.
But the gruelling demands of an hour and a half's racing were laid bare when Lauda climbed out of his Ferrari and removed his helmet.
His white balaclava was stained red with blood, and as he attempted to peel it off he discovered it was stuck to the bandages covering his face. In the end, he resorted to ripping it off in one go.
Hunt would go on to pip Lauda in the title race by finishing third in the season-ending Japanese Grand Prix, with Lauda having retired after just two laps because of appalling conditions caused by torrential rain. Lauda would later admit it had left him "panic-stricken".
However, no-one can deny that he had already produced one of the bravest acts in the history of F1 earlier that season simply by getting back in the car.


Government attempts to cut fraud by introducing the Universal Credit risk being "seriously undermined" by issues with housing benefits, MPs say.

The Work and Pensions Committee warned that gaps in the system could also increase the number of self-employed people working for "cash in hand".
But the government said its reforms were expected to cut losses due to fraud by £1bn over the next five years.
Universal Credit merges six working-age benefits into a single payment.
These are jobseeker's allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, income support, child tax credit, working tax credit and housing benefit.
Universal Credit is gradually being rolled out, with completion expected by 2017.
Under the current housing benefit system, local authorities can cross-check claims across a range of data relating to other council services.
The committee said that, unless the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could cross-check Universal Credit claims in a similar way, it could be less effective in tackling fraud and error.
The MPs expressed particular concern over the management of the £24bn-a-year housing benefit element of Universal Credit, which accounts for fraud and error losses of £1.2 billion, more than double any other core benefit.
The Department for Work and Pensions is relying on a new real-time information (RTI) system developed by HM Revenue and Customs to facilitate the collection of PAYE income tax in order to calculate claimants' monthly benefit entitlements.
Q&A: Universal credit
But the committee said it had received evidence from the Local Authority Investigation Officers Group which voiced concern that RTI might even increase the number of people working for "cash in hand".
"RTI cannot provide the complete solution, as it will not apply to a significant proportion of claimants who are paid outside the PAYE system, including the self-employed," the committee said.
"Moreover, the full gains of RTI in relation to reducing benefit fraud and error are largely dependent on the successful national implementation of Universal Credit, which is at least three years away by the most optimistic schedule."
The committee's chairman, Labour MP Dame Anne Begg, said: "Through the use of RTI, Universal Credit has the potential over the longer term to substantially reduce fraud and error in the benefits system.
"However, this could be seriously undermined because of the uncertainty about how DWP will administer the housing element of Universal Credit without increased risks of fraud and error."
But a DWP spokesman said: "Universal Credit is expected to reduce losses due to fraud and error by £1bn in the next five years when it's fully in place.
"This modern, simpler and easier-to-administer benefit is running successfully and we are continuing to work closely with local authorities to ensure its continued safe and secure rollout.
"We are absolutely committed to doing all we can to reduce the level of fraud and error in the benefit system, which has fallen since 2010."
