NEW YORK (AP) — The father of Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza says what his son did couldn't "get any more evil" and he wishes his son hadn't been born.

The country has come under fire from Asian neighbors for setting up a team to review history and verify the accuracy of interviews with women who said they worked as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers before and during the war. Japanese nationalists have long insisted the tens of thousands of women who worked in wartime brothels were voluntary prostitutes.
