Japan extended its sanctions
against North Korea for kidnapped Japanese nationals, occurring in the 1970s
and '80s, for two more years. Japan cited delayed responses from North Korea
regarding unresolved issues involving the kidnapping. North Korea has admitted
to kidnapping 13 Japanese nationals, 8 of whom had died while in captivity. One
of these victims was Megumi Yokota, who was kidnapped when she was 13. Although
North Korea announced that she had killed herself and returned her supposed
remains, DNA tests subsequently disputed such claim. Read more at BBC.
