South Korea holds live-fire drills that simulate destroying North Korea's leadership "The reason they want it, I think, is they want to be able to either respond to North Korean provocation or they want North Korea to be aware that they have the capability to respond if North Korea goes too far," said Schuster, now a Hawaii Pacific University professor.

New post 'Hero' officer who swapped with French supermarket hostage dies , UK, Saturday 24 March 2018 Image: Arnaud Beltrame (L) offered himself up to Redouane Lakdim (R) in exchange for the final hostage A French policeman who took the place of a hostage during a terror attack at a supermarket has died of his injuries.

Counter-terrorism officers then stormed the supermarket in Trebes, southwest France, and shot the terrorist dead. Mr Beltrame's death takes the number of people killed to four - in addition to the gunman - and 15 others were injured. Paying tribute to the police officer, interior minister Gerard Collomb tweeted: "Dead for his country. France will never fo...
