Refugees Flee Iraqi Conflict as U S Builds Northern Camps
An estimated 850,000 Kurds fled from northern Iraq to mountains near the Turkish border with allied protection camps in northern Iraq under construction. A further 1.5 million Kurds sought refuge along Iran’s border, while Shiite Muslims fled to Iran. British Marines arrived to establish relief HQ near Zakho with about 2,000 U.S. troops, and a Spanish contingent will join. Belgian paratroopers face Iran paperwork delays, and Spain plans troops and engineers to aid northern Iraq.

Vapor in Minuteman silo prompts evacuations in Sawyer North Dakota
Twenty four residents fled farm homes overnight after the Air Force detected an unidentified vapor in an underground Minuteman II missile silo near Sawyer ND. Preliminary tests found no harm but more tests were planned as officials say there is no immediate danger to the public. The 60 foot silo houses a 78 000 pound missile that can carry three warheads though no warhead is considered a factor in the incident. The spokesman cited water seepage as a possible non missile related source for the vapor.
