NAHR AL-BARED CAMP:
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In related developments, attempts by the Palestinian cleric Sheikh Mohammed al-Hajj - a member of the Clerics of Palestine Association - to evacuate the 21 wives and 52 children of Fatah al-Islam have failed, as the wives refused to use the cars sent to them four times since Thursday.
“The wives said they want to die with their husbands,” a Palestinian source at Beddawi camp who was involved in arranging the evacuation cars told The Daily Star.
“Two of the women are Palestinian, one is from Borj al-Barajneh, and the other from Ain al-Hilweh,” said the source, adding: “the one from Ain al-Hilweh is Abu Huriera’s wife.””

“Cuomo: Include Terrorism, Evacuation in Nuclear Licensing”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is demanding that federal officials consider terrorism, evacuation plans and population density as they decide whether to relicense the Indian Point nuclear power plants.
If such factors are included, he said, it could mean the shutdown of the two reactors.
Cuomo announced Thursday that he has filed a brief in support of an appeal undertaken last month by Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano and two New Jersey environmental groups. Spano is appealing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s refusal to change the relicensing criteria.
“This brief raises serious questions about the NRC relicensing process, a process that ignores important factors about nuclear power plant safety and is stacked in favor of plant operators,” Cuomo said in his announcement.”
