New zawahiri vid today taking the American press to task for not being truthful about Christopher Stevens’ assassination. Says it was planned and was to avenge yahya al libi. This is just new, not the one from 9/11.

Halliburton loses radioactive drilling probe in Texas

AUSTIN, Texas - Halliburton Co. is scouring a 130- mile swath of West Texas oil fields for a lost seven-inch cylinder with radioactive material used when drilling natural- gas wells by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Pickup trucks outfitted with detection gear retraced the route of a vehicle that carried the radioactive rod before it was reported missing on Sept. 11, the Houston-based company told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The trucks drove at 10 miles an hour between Pecos, where the device was previously used on a well, and Odessa without finding the unit, according to an NRC incident report Thursday.
“It’s not something that produces radiation in an extremely dangerous form,” Chris Van Deusen, a spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, said in an interview. “But it’s best for people to stay back, 20 or 25 feet” if they find a cylinder marked “radioactive - do not handle,” he said.

- “Looks to me like a neutron source. The worst kind for external exposure.””
- “Neutron source?! Yikes, I thought it would be a gamma source. Bad news either way.””
