The mass graves that used to be for burying Saddam&#8217;s soldiers have now  been prepared again for U.S. soldiers, and this is the reason for  digging this big number of graves

&#8220;Countries with nuclear weapons are not in a position to turn to another country and say: &#8216;You are not [...]]]></description>

Ahmadinejad has now ordered his scientists to enrich the material to 20% moving it closer to its dream of acquiring nuclear weapons.

[it] is in danger of being struck by a major earthquake.
A list of prior capital moves was kindly provided by the BBC:


Brazil: Brasilia, 1961
Tanzania: Dodoma, 1973
Ivory Coast: Yamoussoukro, 1983
