Israelske fredsaktivister arresteres
[We have been celebrating too early when we thought that the home
of Hani and Munira Amer and their six children would be spared
encirclement by The Wall ... ]
With bulldozers less than 10 meters away from the threatened house
at Mes'ha, the army is right now arresting the 40 international and
Israeli peace activists who spent the night there - among them
Oren Medicks of Gush Shalom, and CO Dror Boymel and five
other Israelis. Other activists are from the US, Britain, France,
Italy, Germany Sweden and Japan. The activists who sit in a circle
singing are dragged one by one.
An effort is under way to organize a new group to go there, writes
Gush Shalom.

Los Alamos cited for safety
violation
The U.S. Department of Energy cited the University of California
for safety violations at Los Alamos National Laboratory for an
incident in which two workers inhaled plutonium.
The workers were conducting an inventory of cans of plutonium
residue on Aug. 5, 2003, at the main plutonium processing facility
when an alarm sounded, the lab said.
The workers evacuated the room, but medical exams showed skin
contamination with the radioactive metal and evidence that both had
inhaled plutonium, writes Oakland Tribune (CA) 07/02/2004.
