North Korea: New long-range
missile can carry heavy nuke
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea today boasted of a suc-
cessful weekend launch of a new type of “medium long-range”
ballistic rocket that can carry a heavy nuclear warhead. Outsiders
also saw a significant technological jump, with the test-fire appar-
ently flying higher and for a longer time period than any other
such previous missile.
Amid condemnation in Seoul, Tokyo and Washington, a jubi-
lant North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised more nuclear
and missile tests and warned that his country’s weapons could
strike the U.S. mainland and Pacific holdings.
North Korean propaganda must be considered with wari-
ness — Pyongyang has threatened for decades to reduce Seoul
to a “sea of fire,” for instance — but today’s claim, if confirmed,
would mark another big advance toward the North’s goal of field-
ing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the U.S. main-
land. Some experts, including officials in Tokyo, estimate that
Sunday’s launch successfully tested a new type of missile, poten-
tially the longest in North Korea’s arsenal.
The test is also an immediate challenge to South Korea’s new
president, Moon Jae-in, a liberal elected last week who expressed
a desire to reach out to North Korea. Pyongyang’s aggres-
sive push to boost its weapons program also makes it one of
the Trump administration’s most urgent foreign policy worries,
though Washington has struggled to settle on a policy.
North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency called
the missile a “new ground-to-ground medium long-range strate-
gic ballistic rocket,” and said the “Hwasong-12” was “capable of
carrying a large, heavy nuclear warhead.”
restrict immigration from certain Muslim-majority nations have
reached the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit.
After Trump issued his initial travel ban on a Friday in late
January, bringing chaos and protests to airports around the coun-
try, a Seattle judge blocked its enforcement nationwide — a deci-
sion that was unanimously upheld by a three-judge 9th Circuit
panel.
ries, banks, government agencies and transport systems in scores
of countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Spain, India and
Japan, among others. Among those hit were Russia’s Interior
Ministry and companies including Spain’s Telefonica and FedEx
Corp. in the U.S.
Chinese state media said 29,372 institutions there had been
infected along with hundreds of thousands of devices.
Morning blues as ‘WannaCry’
cyberattack hits at week’s start
Lawmakers urge Trump to avoid
picking a partisan for FBI job
TOKYO — The worldwide “ransomware” cyberattack
wreaked havoc in hospitals, schools and offices across the globe
today. Asia reported thousands of new cases but no large-scale
breakdowns as workers started the week by booting up their
computers.
The full extent of the damage from the cyberattack felt in 150
countries was unclear and could worsen if more malicious varia-
tions of the online extortion scheme appear.
The initial attack, known as “WannaCry,” paralyzed comput-
ers running Britain’s hospital network, Germany’s national rail-
way and scores of other companies and government agencies
around the world.
As a loose global network of cybersecurity experts fought the
ransomware, the attack was disrupting computers that run facto-
WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump considers a
replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey, lawmakers are
urging the president to steer clear of appointing any politicians.
The advice came Sunday amid more criticism over Trump’s
dismissal of Comey during an FBI probe of Russia’s meddling
with last year’s election and any ties to the Trump campaign.
James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, said
the Founding Fathers created three co-equal branches of govern-
ment with checks and balances, but with Trump as president, that
was now “eroding.”
“I think, in many ways, our institutions are under assault, both
externally — and that’s the big news here, is the Russian inter-
ference in our election system,” Clapper said “I think as well our
institutions are under assault internally.”

Trump’s revised travel ban
SEATTLE — For the second time in a week, government law-
yers will try to persuade a federal appeals court to reinstate Pres-
ident Donald Trump’s revised travel ban — and once again, they
can expect plenty of questions today about whether the ban was
designed to discriminate against Muslims.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
has scheduled arguments in Seattle over Hawaii’s lawsuit chal-
lenging the travel ban, which would suspend the nation’s refu-
gee program and temporarily bar new visas for citizens of Iran,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Last week, judges on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals heard
arguments over whether to affirm a Maryland judge’s decision
putting the ban on ice. They peppered Acting Solicitor General
Jeffrey Wall with questions about whether they could consider
Trump’s campaign statements calling for a ban on Muslims enter-
ing the U.S., with one judge asking if there was anything other
than “willful blindness” that would prevent them from doing so.
Today’s arguments mark the second time Trump’s efforts to
