TERROR PROBE AFTER “LOW FORCE” BLAST
A “low force” blast hit a busy pedestrian street Friday, injuring seven people as it shattered the glass from a refrigerated shop cooler in a bakery, a local official said.
France’s anti-terrorist office opened an inquiry into the blast, and the anti-terrorism prosecutor, Remy Heitz, went to Lyon. The interior minister also was on site, and soldiers secured the area.
North Korea says talks won’t resume unless U.S. changes position.
North Korea said Friday that nuclear negotiations with the United States will never resume unless the Trump administration moves away from what Pyongyang described as unilateral demands for disarmament.
The statement by an unnamed North Korean foreign ministry spokesman published in state media was the country’s latest expression of displeasure over the stalled negotiations as it continues to press Washington to soften its stance on enforcing sanctions against the North’s crippled economy.
