I've not read anything alluding to what they were up to. If I do come across something I'll be sure to ping you.

Have you heard anything on your local news as to what caused the Texas explosion?

Cable has been on Florida all day and I was at work dealing with some folks who are scamming us with bad checks. Ugh :(

Iran Nuclear: New Underground Plant In Natanz

Tehran, 2 Feb. 2007 - Iran is building a new, underground nuclear power plant in Natanz, diplomatic sources with the UN atomic watchdog, the International Atomic Energy agency (IAEA), told Adnkronos International (AKI) on Friday.

Tehran has also refused to install the CCTV cameras of the IAEA necessary to monitor Iran's nuclear programme, which the international community fears is aimed at building nuclear weapons. The new centrifuges to enrich uranium on an industrial scale will be allegedly placed in the new plant.

Iran has announced it means to inaugurate 3,000 new centrifuges and the official confirmation is expected on 11 February, the last day of celebrations marking the 28th anniversary of the 1979 Iranian revolution.

Gaza Security Forces Arrest Seven Iranian Arms Experts

Gaza, 2 Feb. 2007 - Security sources said Fatah-linked Palestinian security forces have arrested seven Iranian weapons experts who include an Iranian army general during a raid at the Islamic University in Gaza City - a Hamas stronghold. Another Iranian committed suicide during the raid, Palestinian reports said. Fatah gunmen also found 1,400 Kalachnikov rifles and rockets, as well as several missiles, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Neither the names nor photographs of the Iranians have been released, and Israel Radio said on Friday the Arab-language media has been cautious in reporting the Fatah claim out of concern it could be part of a Fatah-Hamas propaganda war.

Hamas official Islam Shahwan was quoted as denying the claim and said there were no Iranian citizens at the university. Fatah gunmen left the university compound after Shawan warned Fatah to end its assault of face "very serious consequences."

The raid came during a large scale assault on the university, led by the presidential guard which serves Fatah's party leader and Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, according to security sources. At least two people were wounded in the heavy gun battle and flames were seen leaping from two buildings.

The storming of the university is seen as a major psychological victory for Fatah in its struggle with Hamas. Thursday saw ferocious fighting between the two groups in which six died and 52 were wounded leaving a brief two-day truce in tatters. Hamas gunmen on Friday killed two members of a Fatah linked intelligence service in the Gaza Strip.

Thursday's clashes are believed to have been triggered by an attack by Hamas-linked gunmen on a truck crossing into the Graza Strip at the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom Crossing that Hamas said it believed contained arms from Egypt for Abbas' presidential guard. Five Fatah-affiliated Palestinians and a child were killed in the attack an an ensuring gun battle. Egypt has denied it has been supplying weapons to Fatah.
