The army released a video showing two missiles hitting the car about a minute apart after a brief chase. No one appeared to be near the vehicle at the time of the missile strikes. . “We didn’t see any massive Iran Continued from page 1 Iran will now be essential.” Iran, which says its nuclear programs aims only for electricity production, made the commit ments after the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany came to Iran to press the demands by the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency. Tehran did not say when it would take the steps, though a British official said it would likely be before the deadline. Iran also agreed to hand over other information long sought by the IAEA, said diplomats in A statement by Palestinian security said there were three missile hits, and those killed were struck by shrapnel from a missile fired after they had gath ered near the vehicle. Some witnesses said militants were able to flee the car after the first missile hit — which the video appeared to show caused only minor damage. The second missile caused more serious harm and, Israeli officials said, killed the militants inside. Vienna, where the IAEA is based. Most impor tantly, said the diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Iran promised to account for the ori gin of traces of weapons-grade uranium IAEA inspectors discovered at two facilities, raising alarm bells in Vienna and Washington. IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei has called those traces, found in environmental samples, the most troubling aspect of Iran’s nuclear activities. Iran says the contamination was on equipment it imported for peaceful nuclear purposes, but it resisted IAEA requests that it name the country of origin. Once the agency knows where the equip ment comes from, it can test the truth of Iran’s claims. gathering of people. We will not allow munitions to be launched when there is a massive gather ing of people,” said a senior air force officer, speaking on condi tion of anonymity.

They want to spend tiim with their families and children because they probably do i see them as much, she said. “For Mother’s Day, I getm;: grandmothers something semi mental, like flowers,” Selaiden said. “They appreciate these kinds of things more, alone I with pictures and stuff that's homemade.” Selaiden said she chooses these kinds of presents because they are more thoughtful than socks or an outfit to wear. “My grandparents are absolutely delighted and appre ciative when my brother and 1 give them things that come fa the heart,” Selaiden said, Some of Gest’s suggestions for gifts for older relatives include bringing photographs to show them or giving them handmade things. “One of the neatest things to | do is to bring photographs dial you have to show them what's going on in your life,” Gestsaid, “Cherished photographs of yon with them are also a great way for them to relive those experi ences and see people that rnigln have passed away.” Photos are an excellent way to bring people together, Gesl said. They spur memories and allow for reminiscing on past good times. Matthew Otte, a seniff finance major, travels I Davenport.
