Missing bomb uranium at Abkhazia institute raises probes
International inspectors seek answers on whether equipment used to produce bomb grade uranium disappeared with the material. In rebel-held Abkhazia the institute’s 1993 inventory listed 655 grams of highly enriched uranium and up to 2 kilograms reported by Georgian sources. Authorities say they do not know who took the material or if illicit traders or scientists were involved. The IAEA cites the case as requiring deeper access and a more extensive inspection, contingent on Georgian parliamentary ratification of an international agreement.

Detainees seek access to attorneys at Guantanamo Bay
US courts should intervene to stop torture and abuses of detainees. Lawyers for 14 detainees argued before Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly that American courts can rule on actions at Guantanamo Bay, though Justice Department argues rights are for political and military branches. The case targets access to lawyers for Kuwaitis, Britons, and an Australian among about 500 detainees held by the US at the base.

London mayor denies hitting girlfriend in party incident
London Mayor Ken Livingstone faced a Greater London Assembly session over claims he manhandled his pregnant girlfriend Emma Beal after an argument about smoking. Beal supported his account while her friend Robin Hedges, a reporter, alleged Livingstone shoved him, causing a fall and a brain scan. Livingstone said he drank three glasses of wine, blamed a smear campaign, and did not plan legal action.
