PARIS (AP) — On the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo terror attack in Paris, French President Francois Hollande (frahn-SWAH' oh-LAWND') is making it clear that a "terrorist threat" will continue to weigh on France. Shortly after Hollande paid tribute to police officers killed in the line of duty, officers at a Paris police station shot and killed a man armed with a knife. Police say he was wearing a fake explosives vest.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Tensions are ramping up between North and South Korea, following the North's claim yesterday that it successfully conducted a hydrogen bomb test. Now South Korea says on Friday it'll resume cross-border propaganda broadcasts that the North considers an act of war because they're meant to get North Koreans to question their leader.
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — No one has claimed responsibility for a truck bomb in western Libya that killed at least 60 policemen and wounded 200. Today's blast happened at a base where 400 police recruits were training. A hospital spokesman is suggesting that there could be more deaths. He says the 60 confirmed dead are the bodies that crews have managed to pull out of the rubble.
LANSING, N.Y. (AP) — All 17 miners who were stuck in an elevator at the deepest salt mine in the Western Hemisphere have been rescued. A Cargill spokesman says the last two miners were raised to the surface by a crane around 8:30 a.m. at the mine in the central New York town of Lansing. Their rescue ended an ordeal that lasted about 10 hours. The company says the miners were never in danger. They got stuck 900 feet underground last night while descending to the floor of the 2,300-foot-deep mine to start their shift.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The health care repeal bill that was passed yesterday by the GOP-led House now awaits President Barack Obama's veto. It's no surprise that the president will reject another effort to dismantle his signature health care law. But this is the first time such legislation has passed both the House and Senate. Meanwhile, a Gallup-Healthways Well-Being survey found that in 2015, progress stalled on reducing the number of uninsured Americans under the health care law.
