Protest as Western powers hold talks on Iran

Protesters have gathered outside the British Foreign Office, where
Western powers are meeting to discuss tightening UN sanctions on Iran.
The demonstrators, described as members of the Iranian resistance, are
calling for full sanctions in the row over Iran's nuclear programme.
The five permanent UN Security Council members - the US, France,
Russia,
China and Britain - plus Germany are meeting. The Iranian president has
upped the anti in the controversy by saying his country's atomic work
is
"like a train with no brakes and no reverse gear".
Washington has said that "all options are on the table" after Iran's
refusal to heed a UN deadline to stop enriching uranium. The Islamic
Republic maintains it has the right to use nuclear power for civilian
purposes, denying there is any plan to make weapons.

White powder scare follows UMR standoff
ROLLA, Mo. -- Nearly two dozen people were being decontaminated Tuesday after a white, powdery substance was found on a man threatening "terrorist-type" actions at the University of Missouri-Rolla, school officials said.
"Possible bomb materials" were also found with the man, identified only as a student at the south-central Missouri university, school officials said in a statement.
The student was in custody and being questioned, the statement said.
Twenty-three people were sent through a decontamination process at the university's civil engineering building, where a police standoff with the student had started around 2:30 a.m.
