PARIS (AP) — Officials in Paris say a man armed with a knife was shot to death by officers at a police station in the northern part of the city. Officials say the man had wires extending from his clothing, and an explosives squad is on site. A year ago today, 11 people were killed inside the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine and a police officer was killed outside. Over the next two days an accomplice shot a policewoman to death and then stormed a kosher supermarket, killing four hostages.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Saudi-led strike overnight hit the Iranian Embassy in Yemen's capital. An Associated Press reporter in Sanaa (sah-NAH') says there appears to be no damage. Iran's state-run news agency said earlier that a Saudi-led airstrike hit the embassy, citing the country's Foreign Ministry. Sanaa is held by Shiite rebels known as Houthis (HOO'-theez). They are targeted by an ongoing Saudi-led military campaign on behalf of Yemen's internationally recognized government.
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan officials say a truck bomb exploded in the western town of Zliten near a police camp, killing at least 60 policemen and wounding at least 200.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says it will resume cross-border propaganda broadcasts that Pyongyang considers an act of war. North Korea claimed yesterday that it carried out a successful hydrogen bomb test and world powers are looking at ways to punish the North. The South's propaganda broadcasts are meant to raise questions in North Korean minds about the infallibility of the ruling Kim family.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is releasing new dietary guidelines today that mean some people may not have to cut back on as many eggs and as much salt as they once thought. And eating lean meat is still OK. The guidelines back off the strictest sodium rules included in the last version, though Americans still consume too much salt. It reverses guidance on the dangers of dietary cholesterol and adds new advice on sugars.
