We're all watching, hoping today turns out to be the beginning of the end of this economic and environmental disaster. About a mile beneath where I'm standing 1 right now, they're running diagnostic tests of the well. If everything turns out well, they will try to close that well in. And if the well can take the pressure, then they will successfully cap this well for the first time since this disaster began.  So, that test they're wanting today is going to be all-important to determine if they can close that well, if they can stop that oil, and if they can keep it contained until they drilled those relief wells that could be online in a couple of weeks.

Mr. Amiri disappeared about a year ago, actually in June, 2009 in Saudi Arabia. And for this whole time the Iranians have claimed that he was abducted 2 by the CIA. The U.S. had maintained that he was not abducted.

Mr. Amiri has been in the United States of his own free will, and he is free to go. In fact, he was scheduled to travel to Iran yesterday, but was unable to make all of the necessary arrangements to reach Iran through transit 3 countries.

At least 35 still missing from these deadly suicide attacks here in Kampala.

We can’t say, I’m not worried, but it is not a question of worry, we have been at war. As you know, in this region, we already, are in the storm, for a long, for decades we've been fighting.
