suicide bombings inside Israel,
the army said.
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. .

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

force officer, speaking on condi
tion of anonymity.
The grainy video showed a
crowd gathering around the car
about two minutes after the sec
ond strike, and the video ended
some 40 seconds later. The mili
tary said an additional 10 min
utes were recorded but didn’t
release the additional footage.

Stephanie Selaiden, a set®:

said her grandparents prele:
family time instead of prese®
because material items do not;
matter as much to them an;
more. 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.

holidays.
“It’s nice to spend time with
my grandparents during the
holidays because we don’t get
to see them very often any
other time of the year,” Otte
said. “We play golf and have
big family dinners and this
gives us the opportunity to
catch up on what’s going on in
everyone’s lives.”

“Most of the patients we work
with are always looking forward
to the holidays to spend timewi

enthused to have dinner with hei
