Divers resume search for
crash victims, fuselage

The weather improved today
and divers will attempt again to
locate large objects on the ocean
floor believed to be the fuselage
of the AirAsia flight that crashed
more than one week ago, killing
all 162 on board.
At least five ships with equip-
ment that can detect the plane’s
black boxes have been deployed
to the area where the suspected
plane parts were spotted, said
Suryadi B. Supriyadi, Indone-
sia’s National Search and Res-
cue director of operations.
“If it cannot be done by di-
vers, we will use sophisticated
equipment with capabilities of
tracking underwater objects and
then will lift them up,” Supriyadi
said.

A magazine with cartoons of U.S. President Barack Obama
and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is displayed at a book-
store in Seoul, South Korea, on Saturday. The red letters on
the magazine read “Hacker War.”
N. Korea slams
U.S. sanctions

Five large objects — the big-
gest measuring 59 feet long and
18 feet wide and believed to be
the fuselage — have been detec-
►
over its nuclear and missile pro-
grams. President Barack Obama
also warned Pyongyang that the
United States was considering
whether to put North Korea
back on its list of state sponsors
of terrorism, which could jeop-
ardize aid to the country on a
global scale.
American officials portrayed
the sanctions as a swift, decisive
response to North Korean be-
havior that they said had gone
far over the line. Never before
has the U.S. imposed sanctions
on another nation in direct re-
taliation for a cyberattack on an
American company.
There have been doubts in
the cyber community, however,
about the extent of North Ko-
rea’s involvement. Many experts
have said it’s possible that hack-
ers or even Sony insiders could
be the culprits, and questioned
how the FBI can point the finger
so conclusively.
Sen. Robert Menendez of
New Jersey, the outgoing chair-
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, said the sanc-
tions announced Friday were “a
good first step” but didn’t go far
enough.
Menendez told CNN’s State
of the Union on Sunday that he
had written to Secretary of State
John Kerry, urging him to con-
sider putting North Korea back
on the list of state sponsors of
terrorism, “which would have
far more pervasive consequenc-

Pope’s 15 new cardinals
reflect church diversity
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
— North Korea on Sunday crit-
icized the United States for slap-
ping sanctions on Pyongyang of-
ficials and organizations for a
cyberattack on Sony Pictures —
the latest fallout from a Holly-
wood movie depicting the fic-
tional assassination of North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
An unnamed spokesman for
North Korea’s Foreign Ministry,
in rhetoric that closely mirrors
past statements, denied any role
in the breach of tens of thou-
sands of confidential Sony
emails and business files and ac-
cused the United States of
“groundlessly” stirring up hostil-
ity toward Pyongyang. The
spokesman said the new sanc-
tions would not weaken the
Pope Francis named 15 new
cardinals Sunday, selecting
them from 14 nations including
far-flung corners of the world
such as Tonga, New Zealand,
Cape Verde and Myanmar to re-
flect the diversity of the church
and its growth in places like Asia
and Africa compared to affluent
regions.
Other cardinals hail from
Ethiopia, Thailand and Viet-
nam.
Miracle-Ear is looking for 25
loved ones that have difficulty
hearing and understanding un
background noise. These 25
people are needed to evaluate
Miracle-Ear's latest and most
advanced digital hearing
instrument and the effectiveness
of the directional microphone
system in background noise.
Candidates will be asked to
evaluate our instruments.
If you are satisfied with the
improvement in your hearing and
wish to keep the instruments, you

TREMENDOUS SAVINGS.
None came from the United
States and only three European
nations received new cardinals
— Portugal and Spain in addi-
tion to Italy. Cape Verde, Tonga
and Myanmar gained cardinals
for the first time.
Francis told faithful in St. Pe-
ter’s Square that the new batch
of cardinals “shows the insepa-
rable tie with the church of
Rome to churches in the world.”

Israel threatens actions
against Palestinians
Israeli leaders on Sunday
threatened to take tougher ac-
tion against the Palestinians over
their decision to join the Interna-
tional Criminal Court, a day after
freezing the transfer of more
than $100 million in tax funds.
Last week’s Palestinian deci-
sion to seek membership in the
international court has infuriat-
ed Israel. The Palestinians have
said they intend on using their
new membership in the Hague-
based tribunal to press war
crimes cases against Israel.
“The Palestinian Authority
has chosen confrontation with
Israel and we will not sit idly by”
Prime Minister Benjamin Net-
anyahu told his Cabinet He said
Israel would not allow its soldiers
to be “hauled” before the court.
— The Associated Press
country’s 1.2-million-strong mil-
itary.
The spokesman told the
North’s official media mouth-
piece, the Korean Central News
Agency, that the sanctions show
America’s “inveterate repugnan-
cy and hostility toward the
DPRK,” referring to the North’s
official name, the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea.
“The policy persistently pur-
sued by the U.S. to stifle the
DPRK, groundlessly stirring up
bad blood toward it, would only
harden its will and resolution to
defend the sovereignty of the
country,” the spokesman said.
The United States on Friday
sanctioned 10 North Korean
government officials and three
organizations, including Pyong-
yang’s primary intelligence
agency and state-run arms deal-
er, in what the White House de-
scribed as an opening move in
the response toward the Sony
cyberattack.
The sanctions might have
only a limited effect, as North
Korea already is under tough
U.S. and international sanctions
es.
The 10 North Koreans sin-
gled out for sanctions didn’t nec-
essarily have anything to do with
the attack on Sony, senior U.S.
officials said. Anyone who works
for or helps North Korea’s gov-
ernment is now fair game, espe-
cially North Korea’s defense sec-
tor and spying operations, they
said.
