Occupy Oakland: police fire teargas and baton rounds at protesters --Oakland police confirmed they deployed teargas and said a 'non-lethal' projectile was fired from a shotgun in this morning's operation. 26 Oct 2011 Police have used teargas after scuffles broke out between officers and protesters demonstrating against dozens of arrests at an Occupy Wall Street camp in Oakland, California. According to protest leaders, the march - attended by more than 1,000 people on Tuesday night - was intended to reclaim Frank Ogawa plaza, which has served as a base for two weeks of protests against economic inequality in the city until police cleared it before dawn. At least 85 people were arrested when police used teargas and baton rounds to break up the camp, sparking fury among protesters who have accused city authorities of a heavy handed response to their demonstration.

U.S. Parts Smuggled to Iran for Iraq Bombs --At least 16 of the devices, bought from a Minnesota company, were found in unexploded bombs in Iraq in 2008, 2009 and 2010. 26 Oct 2011 Electronic parts made in Minnesota were smuggled through Singapore to Iran, and some of them ended up in the remote controls of makeshift bombs seized by American forces in Iraq, the Justice Department said on Tuesday. The Justice Department said in an indictment that the parts smuggled to Iran had been put to use in sophisticated improvised explosive devices that could be triggered from miles away. Four men have been arrested in Singapore on charges of breaking American export-control laws by smuggling 6,000 radio frequency modules through Singapore to Iran beginning in 2007.
Fukushima Nuclear Plant Released Far More Radiation than Government Said --Global radioactivity data challenge Japanese estimates for emissions and point to the role of spent fuel pools 25 Oct 2011 The disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in March released far more radiation than the Japanese government has claimed. So concludes a study that combines radioactivity data from across the globe to estimate the scale and fate of emissions from the shattered plant. The study also suggests that, contrary to government claims, pools used to store spent nuclear fuel played a significant part in the release of the long-lived environmental contaminant caesium-137, which could have been prevented by prompt action.
