Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki said building a new veterans hospital to serve Colorado and surrounding states is a top priority for the agency. Shinseki joined lawmakers for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital on Saturday in Aurora. Veterans from all branches of the military were represented in the crowd that gathered for the event. It’s being built at the former Fitzsimons Army Hospital campus, now the University of Colorado’s medical campus. The hospital will serve Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming and will replace a 59-year-old facility in southeast Denver. It’s expected to open in the summer of 2013.

Drilling rates dramatically lower than last year’s rates DURANGO

The number of oil and gas drilling rigs operating in Colorado is at its lowest level since 2003, dropping to about 40 rigs in July from about 140 a year ago. Drilling across the state has declined dramatically as the recession wears on and natural gas prices remain low. Industry officials also have blamed Colorado’s new oil and gas rules. State records show that 3,339 drilling permits were approved through Aug. 6. The state issued a record 8,027 permits last year. The decline in drilling means fewer jobs in the gas fields and less tax revenue for state and county governments, fire departments and schools.

Abdullah accuses Karzai of ’rigging’ vote THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND THE WORLD KABUL

President Hamid Karzai’s leading challenger accused him of using the Afghan state to “rig” this week’s election and detailed allegations of cheating by government officials in an interview Saturday. Abdullah Abdullah, once Karzai’s foreign minister, said he was in contact with other campaigns to explore the possibility of a coalition candidacy in case none of the 36 candidates won enough votes in Thursday’s ballot to avoid a runoff, probably in October. The accusations, which Karzai’s spokesman denied, are the most direct Abdullah has made against the incumbent in a contest that likely has

weeks to go before a winner is proclaimed. Abdullah and Karzai claim they are in the lead based on reports from campaign pollwatchers monitoring the count. Officials of Abdullah’s campaign have alleged fraud in several southern provinces where the insurgency is strongest and Karzai had been expected to run strong.

FBI director angry about Lockerbie bomber release WASHINGTON

FBI Director Robert Mueller sharply criticized Scotland’s justice minister for releasing the Lockerbie bomber, an act that “gives comfort to terror-

ists” all across the world. Mueller sent a letter to Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, who cited compassionate grounds in his decision to let Abdel Baset al-Megrahi return to Libya because he has prostate cancer and was given only months to live by British doctors. The angry tone of the letter is out of character with the normally reserved Mueller, indicating his outrage is personal as well as professional. “I have made it a practice not to comment on the actions of other prosecutors,” Mueller wrote. “Your decision to release Megrahi causes me to abandon that practice in this case. I do so because I am familiar with the facts and the law.”
