North Korea threathens to blow up the White House over 'hacking' accusations

North Korea has threatened more attacks against the U.S. government and other American institutions in the wake of the hack on Sony which cancelled the release of The Interview.

The government - which was outraged by the film showing the assassination of leader Kim Jong Un - also claimed to have 'clear evidence' that the U.S. government engineered the project as a 'propaganda' attack against North Korea.

In a ranting post published by the state news agency KCNA, Korean authorities hit back by saying they will 'blow up' the White House - while continuing to deny they have anything to do with the cyber attacks on Sony.

A release, translated from Korean, said: 'The DPRK [North Korea] has already launched the toughest counteraction.'Nothing is a more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of this counteraction.'

'Our target is all the citadels of the U.S. imperialists who earned the bitterest grudge of all Koreans. 'The army and people of the DPRK are fully ready to stand in confrontation with the U.S. in all war spaces including cyber warfare space to blow up those citadels.'

Too early to send experimental Ebola drug to Africa – Obama says

US President, Barack Obama said yesterday August 6th that it's too early to send the unapproved experimental drug, Zmapp serum to Africa where the outbreak of the Ebola virus has recorded more deaths and threatens human existence.

 

Zmapp serum has proven to be effective in treating Ebola cases as two American doctor infected with the virus in Liberia are currently being treated in the US and are said to have improved after the use of the drug. Continue...

 

According to AFP, President Obama suggested that affected African countries should focus more on building strong public infrastructures.

"I think we have to let the scientist guide us. And I don’t think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful".

On whether he would help fast track the approval of the drug should medical experts conclude that the drug is effective, President Obama said;

 "I think it’s premature for me to say that because I don’t have enough information. I don’t have enough data right now to offer an opinion on that.”

While stressing that the deadly virus is not airborne, Obama said 

"the countries affected are the first to admit that what’s happened here is the public health systems have been overwhelmed. They weren’t able to identify and then isolate cases quickly enough. As a consequence, it spread more rapidly than has been typical with the periodic Ebola outbreaks that occurred previously."

He said the US is currently working with their European partners as well as the World Health Organization to provide resources to contain the virus.

Wxyz.com  reports

A man who was badly burned after his wife allegedly set him on fire is now facing sex crime charges involving his 7-year-old stepdaughter.

Police in Washington state said Tatanysha Hedman, 40, doused her sleeping husband in gasoline before setting him on fire.

Hedman, 40, was arrested and told police she set her husband, Vincent Phillips, 52, on fire because he hurt her 7-year-old daughter, who is his stepdaughter. She said she did it because shooting him "was too nice," 

Phillips is hospitalized and faces first-degree child molestation charges. Hedman remains in jail, facing assault and arson charges.

The burglar that was gunned down by that old man wasn't pregnant afterall

An autopsy has been carried out on the female burglar who was shot dead as she ran from the owner of a home she'd just robbed (read here), and it turns out, she wasn't pregnant. Thank Goodness.

28 year old Andrea Miller, (pictured left) had claimed she was pregnant before being gunned down as she ran from the home she and another accomplice had just burglarized by the homeowner, 80 yr old owner, Tom Greer (pictured right).

Her accomplice, 26 year old Gus Adams could now be charged for her murder instead of the old man who shot her dead, as law enforcement agents say the man was within his rights to protect himself.

Adams had initially escaped from the scene of the home break-in and shooting but he was arrested the next day and now police say that in addition to robbery charges, he could be charged with murder under a California law that makes a person criminally responsible for a murder that occurs in the commission of a felony.

Photos: Brooklyn Woman Beheads Flat Mate Over $200 Electricity Dispute

                       Late Browne                                                           The alleged murderer
A Brooklyn woman has beheaded and dismembered a mother of four and scattered her remains in pieces across Long Island over a $200 electricity dispute she refused to pay her because she wasn’t getting it.

Chinelle Latoya Thompson Browne rented a room apartment at Leah Cueva’s late uncle’s flat where Cueva also stays but she wouldn’t provide hot water or reliable electricity and wanted continuous payment.

Cuevas angrily confronted Browne on July 4 over non-payment of rent and utilities. On July 5, witnesses saw Browne entering the apartment and then heard a confrontation.

“No, Leah! What you doing?” a neighbor heard Browne’s gut-wrenching scream during the fatal attack. “Oh, no! Oh, no! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Cuevas cursed back at Browne, telling her to “Shut the f--- up,”.

“The scare in (Browne’s) voice was like nothing I ever heard before,” a witness told detectives.

Leah Cuevas viciously hacked her victim, Browne, 27, in the neck and chest, cutting off her head.

Detectives are not yet sure if Cuevas had any help or if she was the only one who dismembered Browne's body and scattered her head and arms across Long Island. Cuevas faces a maximum of 25 years to life if convicted.
