North Korea is making veiled nuclear threats against Japan, again. What is it this time? Well, it seems that Japan has the unmitigated gall to still be upset about North Korea's kidnapping and enslavement of Japanese citizens snatched during the 70's and 80's. What's a few slaves between neighbors? N Korea warns Japan on sanctions
Last week, DNA tests showed that bones provided by North Korea to prove that a missing Japanese woman, Megumi Yokota, was dead, did not belong to her but to several other people.
Pyongyang admitted kidnapping her in 1977 but said she committed suicide in 1984. Many in Japan, including her parents, are suspicious and believe she is still alive.
Some believe she is being detained because she knows too much about the secretive country.
Whenever I hear about these cases it always sounds like a Tom Clancy novel. One of the really bad ones at that.
