Alamo flag found in Mexican museum
The only surviving Alamo flag has been located in Mexico City’s National History Museum after being thought lost by Mexican officials over a decade ago. The flag, faded to dirty white with intact gold fringe and an eagle over God and Liberty, sits beside 19th century rifles in a glass case. Talks may enable a return to Texas.

Iran says it had to keep nuclear program secret
Iran blamed American sanctions and European restrictions for denying access to advanced civilian nuclear technology, forcing secrecy in its early days and driving the country to the black market. It now says it has the full range of uranium enrichment capabilities, while Tehran denies aims for a bomb and insists the program is for electricity. Hashemi Rafsanjani recalled secrecy but said it was necessary to acquire equipment. The conference in Tehran included over 50 international nuclear scientists and noted Iran had earlier bought equipment via middlemen, fueling links to Abdul Qadeer Khan.
