at 6 pm, I caught part of a KXNT radio news item, for Las Vegas, I think, said that at 4th and Stewart, the people were allowed back in, as the powder was not a danger.
I thought they might be talking about the Court House.

Last month the arrest of a construction worker....makes me ask if he was a member of the MS-13 gang, that are said to follow the construction workers, and extort money from the illegals.

Terror 'linked' to environment crime
Herald Sun ^ | 27 October 2005 | Roberta Mancuso

INTERPOL is investigating whether terrorist groups such as Jemaah
Islamiah are linked to environmental crimes.
The head of Interpol's Environmental Crimes Committee Andrew
Lauterback said there was anecdotal evidence those behind the
world's major wildlife smuggling and illegal waste dumping were
linked to organised crime. Such links had been established between
ivory poaching and terrorist groups in Somalia, he said, and Interpol
was investigating the possible involvement of major terrorist
networks.
"Obviously, that's something that we're looking into, but that's
probably all I can say," Mr Lauterback said in Brisbane today.
Mr Lauterback, who spoke at the Australian Environmental Law
Enforcement and Regulators Conference, said environmental crime
was estimated to be worth up to $31 billion annually.
He said environmental crimes were becoming more sophisticated and
Interpol was "struggling" to keep one step ahead of criminals.
"There's been evidence showing a link between illegal caviar
smuggling and the Russian mafia," he said.

On the spot in Tehran: 'A family day-out ... with
flag-burning'

Iranian schoolboys shoot with their toy guns in Tehran
Ramita Navai, Tehran Correspondent for The Times, was among
thousands on the streets of the Iranian capital for annual anti-Israel
rallies, at which the President continued his inflammatory rhetoric.
"It's a bit like a family day out, but with cursory outbreaks of flag
burning. There are picnics, street-vendors and people selling
balloons... there's a kind of carnival atmosphere.
"But I walked past one stand where people were writing messages on
a flag to send to Palestine. There was a girl there, she can't have been
older than 5, and she had just signed her name below a message
reading 'Death to Israel, death to America.'
"The conservative hardliners have turned out in force, but it would be
a mistake to think that all of Iran is on the streets baying for Israel's
blood.
"The majority of ordinary Iranians don't really care about Israel - they
have enough to worry about at home with a declining economy and
high unemployment.
"Many of the people are wearing bibs or carrying banners which read
'Peaceful Nuclear Energy is Iran's Right.' That is certainly an issue
which has united all of Iran - the destruction of Israel is not.

Lebanon allows increase in Hizbullah presence
(Lebanon still suffers influence of Syria and Iran)
Middle East Newsline ^ | 2005 Oct 28
Posted on 10/28/2005 4:17:21 AM PDT by Wiz
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The Lebanese Army has allowed Hizbullah to
increase its armed presence near the border with Israel.
A United Nations report said the government of Prime Minister Fuad
Siniora has embarked on a policy to reduce the military presence in
southern Lebanon. At the same time, Siniora has ordered the army to
increase deployment along the Syrian border.
Lebanon, the report said, has failed to fulfill Resolution 1559, passed
in September 2004 and which called for the disarming of Hizbullah and
Palestinian insurgency groups. The report said the Beirut government
has also refused to impose its authority over Hizbullah-dominated
areas in southern Lebanon.
