   SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea's point man on North Korea says there is an "indication" that Pyongyang is preparing for a fourth nuclear test.

   Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae told a parliamentary committee Monday that "there is such an indication," according to two ministry officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

   Ryoo was answering a lawmaker's question about increased personnel and vehicle activities at the North's nuclear test site.

   Ministry officials cite Ryoo as telling the lawmakers he wouldn't provide further details because they involve confidential intelligence affairs.

   South Korean defense officials previously said the North completed preparations for a nuclear test at two underground tunnels. The North used one tunnel for its Feb. 12 nuclear test. The second remains unused.

 

Israel comes to standstill to remember Holocaust

Monday, 08 April 2013 02:38 Published in National News

   JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel has come to a standstill for two mournful minutes as sirens pierced the air to remember the 6 million Jews systematically murdered by German Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust in WWII.

   Israelis stopped what they were doing and stood in silence as sirens wailed nationwide Monday at 10:00 a.m.

   People stood with heads bowed in reflection. Traffic froze as drivers stopped their cars and stepped outside in respect for the solemn day.

   Ceremonies are held around the country. The main wreath laying ceremony is held at the Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem.

   International Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked worldwide on Jan. 27, the date of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp. Israel's annual Holocaust memorial day coincides with the Hebrew date of the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

The Go! St. Louis marathon 2013 is being called a big success.  

The event attracted more than 10,000 runners for the half and full marathons that were run through St. Louis and Clayton on Sunday.  Thousands more participated in fun events on Saturday.  

Geoffry Kiprotich of Sylvania, Ohio, and Autumn Ray of Tucson, Arizona were the winners of the 26.2 mile race.
