    Fire at Vancouver restaurant goes to 3 alarms

    CBC – Wed, 22 Feb, 2012

    Vancouver firefighters fought a three-alarm blaze at the Tandoori King Restaurant on the 8000 Block of Fraser Street Wednesday night.

    “The fire started at approximately 5:45 pm,” said fire department Capt. Gabe Roder. “Firefighters arrived on scene to major smoke showing from the roof of this three-storey building.”

    Roder said fire crews initially attacked the fire from inside the building, but retreated outside for safety when the third alarm was called.

    There were no injuries, said Roder. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

    Fraser Street between 62nd Avenue and Marine Drive would remained closed while the fire was still active, Roder said.

Was it money? Probably not. ...

      Iran has enough uranium for 5 bombs: expert

      VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has significantly stepped up its output of low-enriched uranium and total production in the last five years would be enough for at least five nuclear weapons if refined much further, a U.S. security institute said. The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a think-tank which tracks Iran's nuclear program closely, based the analysis on data in the latest report by the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which was issued on Friday. ...
