Nuke charges pop up again
Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit denies that Egypt is involved in any sort of nuclear weapons testing. Here's the in-depth AP report from Vienna about the original speculations -- all attributed to unnamed diplomats.

Pakistani site says US State department also brushes the rumors aside... while an Indian site interprets the same State dept remarks as expressing concern. A Chinese media report -- providing both sides -- seems the mist balanced about how the US really feels..

The Egyptian head of the UN atomic energy watchdog agency, meanwhile, is critical of US attempts to spy on him...

Unraveling Tut

Plus, ABC does an in-depth story on the event -- which involved the mummy being given a CAT scan.

Multi sports

Custody won

Good news?

Just in time for Christmas?
