at Libyan air defence targets, as part of an attack with US forces
that saw more than 110 missiles fired. The coordinated attack from
ships and submarines hit more than 20 targets onshore as part of
the action to stop the Libyan leader's forces crushing an uprising,
according to a top US military officer.

top-meltdown> 20 Mar 2011 Japanese engineers battled to avert a
meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power plant yesterday as unusually
high radiation levels were recorded in food products and water for
the first time. Rescue teams, including a 46-member team from SA,
continued their desperate search for survivors after the earthquake
and tsunami left over 7000 dead, 10000 missing and 450 000 homeless.

yesterday connected a cable which they hope will power electric
pumps to cool fuel rods at risk of a catastrophic radioactive fire.

to cool overheating reactors laid a power line into a stricken
nuclear power plant yesterday as the government revealed abnormal
levels of radioactivity in milk and spinach. The Fukushima No 1

tsunami which, according to the latest police tally, left at least
18000 dead or missing in Japan's worst natural disaster since 1923.
Just under 7200 were confirmed killed, lost to the tsunami or
interred in the wreckage of buildings.

worse than December, when the rate fell in 207 areas and increased
in 122.
