Police: DNA of headless torso
matches Swedish journalist
Trump revisits his Charlottesville
comments in angry speech
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A headless torso found on
a beach off Copenhagen has been identified as that of missing
Swedish journalist Kim Wall, who is believed to have died on an
amateur-built submarine earlier this month, Danish police said
Wednesday.
Wall, 30, was last seen alive on Aug. 10 on Danish inventor
Peter Madsen’s submarine, which police believe he intentionally
sank off Denmark’s eastern coast the following day.
Madsen, 46, who was then arrested on preliminary manslaugh-
ter charges, denies having anything to do with Wall’s disappear-
ance. Her family says that she was working on a story about
Madsen.
The torso was found on a beach by a member of the public
who was cycling on Copenhagen’s southern Amager island Mon-
day, near where she was believed to have died. Copenhagen police
said Tuesday that her head, arms and legs had “deliberately been
cut off” her body.
The cause of the journalist’s death is not yet known, police said,
adding they were still looking for the rest of her body.
PHOENIX — President Donald Trump opened his political
rally in Phoenix with calls for unity and an assertion that “our
movement is about love.” Then he erupted in anger.
He blamed the media for the widespread condemnation of his
response to violence at a Charlottesville, Virginia, protest orga-
nized by white supremacists. And he shouted that he had “openly
called for healing, unity and love” in the immediate aftermath
of the tragedy and had simply been misrepresented in news
coverage.
He read from his three responses to the racially charged vio-
lence — getting more animated with each one. He withdrew from
his suit pocket the written statement he’d read the day a woman
was killed by a man who’d plowed a car through counter-protest-
ers, but he skipped over the trouble-causing part that he’d free-
lanced at the time — his observation that “many sides” were to
blame.
That, as well as his reiteration days later that “both sides”
were to blame for the violence that led to the death of Heather
Heyer and two state troopers, led Democrats and many Republi-
cans to denounce Trump for not unmistakably calling out white
supremacists and other hate groups.
“You know where my heart is,” Trump told the crowd of thou-
sands shoehorned into the Phoenix convention center. “I’m only
doing this to show you how damned dishonest these people are.”
Navy dismisses commander
after warship accidents
TOKYO — The commander of the Navy’s Asia-based 7th
Fleet was dismissed Wednesday after a series of warship acci-
dents raised questions about its operations in the Pacific.
A two-sentence statement issued by the Navy said Adm. Scott
Swift, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, had relieved Vice
Adm. Joseph Aucoin “due to a loss of confidence in his ability
to command.”
The move follows four Navy accidents in the Pacific since
late January, including two collisions that left sailors dead and
missing.
“While each of these four incidents is unique, they cannot be
viewed in isolation,” Swift said late Tuesday.
He said the Navy will carry out a “deliberate re-set” of all its
ships in the Pacific, focused on navigation, mechanical systems
and bridge resource management. It will include training and an
expert assessment of each ship.
Wildfire burns 5 homes in
southwestern Oregon
BROOKINGS — Authorities on Tuesday designated a wild-
fire in southwestern Oregon as the top firefighting priority nation-
wide, a spokesman for the Incident Fire Management system
said.
Five homes have burned in the 153-square-mile blaze near
Brookings, a coastal town near the California border, said Greg
Heule, a spokesman for the team, which collaborates with vari-
ous federal and state firefighting agencies and releases informa-
tion about blazes around the country.
More than 700 people are under mandatory evacuation and
another 1,000 are under an evacuation warning, he said.
The lightning-sparked fire began more than a month ago, but
has grown rapidly in the past week with low humidity and strong
winds. The weather, however, may start cooperating in the com-
ing days, Heule said.
“Yesterday the fire didn’t move very much at all and today it’s
pretty much the same. It gives our firefighters an opportunity to
get in there on this and make some progress,” he said in a tele-
phone interview.
There are nearly 800 firefighters on scene and many more
crews are streaming in to battle the flames.
No one has been injured in the fire.

President Donald Trump gestures to the crowd while speak-
ing at a rally at the Phoenix Convention Center Tuesday night.
It is burning in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness in the Rogue Riv-
er-Siskiyou National Forest in some of the same area affected
by a notorious fire in 2002 that remains seared in the memory
of those living along the Oregon-California border. That blaze
burned 800 square miles.
In the central part of state, a wildfire in the Three Sisters Wil-
derness has scorched 18 square miles. An evacuation warning
went out Monday for an area that includes Black Butte Ranch, a
resort community.
Last week, hundreds of people living near the Western-themed
town of Sisters were advised to evacuate. Fire managers worry
that winds will push the fire out of the wilderness and into pop-
ulated areas.
North Korea photos suggest
new solid-fuel missile designs
TOKYO — North Korea’s state media released photos
Wednesday that appear to show the designs of one or possibly
two new missiles.
Concept diagrams of the missiles were seen hanging on a wall
behind leader Kim Jong Un while he visited a plant that makes
solid-fuel engines for the country’s ballistic-missile program.
One of the photos clearly showed a diagram for a missile
called “Pukguksong-3,” which appears to be the latest in its Puk-
guksong, or Polaris, series. The other was harder to discern,
though it carried a “Hwasong,” or Mars, designation name.
The photos were carried in the morning edition of the Rodong
Sinmun, the ruling party’s newspaper, and released by the Korean
Central News Agency just two days after the United States and
South Korea began annual military exercises that the North
claims are a rehearsal for war.
Tensions on the peninsula generally ratchet up during the
maneuvers and a series of larger exercises held each spring.

BEIRUT — Thousands of Iranian-backed fighters in Syria’s
central desert region are advancing east, bringing Tehran closer to
its goal of securing a corridor from its border, through Iraq and
all the way to the Mediterranean and providing it unhindered land
access to its allies in Syria and Lebanon for the first time.
The land-route would be the biggest prize yet for Iran in its
involvement in Syria’s six-year-old civil war.
It would facilitate movement of Iranian-backed fighters between
Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as well as the flow of weapons to
Damascus and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Iran’s main proxy group. It
also positions Iran to play a prime and lucrative role in what is
expected to be a massive rebuilding effort in both Iraq and Syria,
which have been devastated in their ongoing wars.
The potential for a physical artery for Iran’s influence across
the region is raising concern in predominantly Sunni Arab coun-
tries and in Israel, the nemesis of both Iran and Hezbollah. It poses
a challenge to the Trump administration, which has vowed to fight
Iran’s growing reach.
The route is largely being carved out by Iran’s allies and prox-
ies, a mix of forces including troops of Syrian President Bashar
Assad, Hezbollah fighters and Shiite militias on both sides of the
border aiming to link up. Iran also has forces of its own Revolu-
tionary Guard directly involved in the campaign on the Syrian side.
