Envoy: Iran ‘very near’ nuclear weapon

Iran is “very near or in possession” of enough low-enriched uranium to produce a nuclear weapon, a U.S. envoy told the United Nations watchdog group.

Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit wrote in a letter shortly after he was abducted into Gaza of “waiting for this intolerable nightmare of mine to end.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to Russia, Israeli dailies reported.
