Friend’s mom just got off the phone with family in Cuba and reports that Cuban police have been posted on every corner.
My mom just heard from her co-worker (whose SIL lives in Cuba and called him moments ago) that Cuban officials have shut down the airport and are not allowing any flights in or out of the island.
Folks, this may finally be it.

A special commission has begun investigating circumstances of radioactive cargo shipment to the port of Vladivostok, the press service of the Far Eastern customs department told Itar-Tass on Friday.
The commission includes customs officers, experts of the Russian consumers’ rights watchdog, of civil defence and emergency situations units and of the service for environmental, technological and nuclear supervision. On Thursday, customs officers during supervision and control of cargo found two containers, whose ionising radiation level exceeded natural radiation background twenty times.
Under the customs shipping forms the cargo contained concentrated ore delivered from Australia to be shipped to Kazakhstan via the Russian territory. The containers’ owner has not yet provided documents confirming the cargo’s high ionising radiation level. The containers were seized and tugged to a special ground.

Machine-guns seized from Woodroffe Avenue home (Ottawa,Canada)
Friday, August 24, 2007
Police from both sides of the river seized 30 firearms and more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition from a Woodroffe Avenue house on Wednesday.
Gatineau police seized 14 restricted and prohibited firearms and more than 30,000 rounds of high-calibre ammunition from the home. As well, the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit and other police officers seized 16 more firearms from the same address. Several of the guns were inoperable. Most were machine-guns, such as an AK-47, UZI, MP-5, STEN, and semi-automatic handguns, and there were a few high-powered long guns.
Sgt. Anthony Costantini of the guns and gangs unit said a Gatineau police investigation -- stemming from charges laid against the suspect during an incident in Quebec several days ago -- led them to his Ontario residence Wednesday. Ottawa police were called in when further firearms were discovered. He could not provide details on the incident, but said the firearms discovered may have been related.
Siva Yogi Shanmugadhasan, 48, of Ottawa, has been charged with firearms and weapons-related charges. He is to appear in court today.
