| Blasts across Iraq kill 10 |
Bombs struck markets north and south of Baghdad on Monday, with nationwide attacks killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens, and parliament convened despite a boycott by Sunni Arab legislators protesting a colleague's abduction. A member of the Iraqi Accordance Front, the largest Sunni bloc in the 275-member legislature, suggested that Tayseer al-Mashhadani was kidnapped by Shiite militias and said the legislative boycott would continue until she is released. Noureddine al-Hyali said the political group had information that al-Mashhadani was being held somewhere near eastern Baghdad's Ur neighborhood a predominantly Shiite area that is controlled by radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi army militia. "We got this information from Iraqi security forces as well as the Americans," al-Hyali said.

| N. Korea again raises prospect of nuclear war 'Annihilating strike' vowed if U.S. attacks; threat follows missile report |
North Korea is ready to answer a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an “annihilating strike and a nuclear war,” the state-run media said Monday. The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper “analyst,” accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state. The North Korean threat of retaliation, which is often voiced by its state-controlled media, comes amid U.S. official reports that Pyongyang has shown signs of preparing for a test of a long-range missile. “The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent,” the report said.

Could it be they are not as defenseless as Afghanistan and Iraq? ...
