Page 8A WORLD BRIEFLY East Oregonian Suicide bomber kills 10, wounds 15 in Istanbul tourist area ISTANBUL (AP) — A suicide bomber detonated a bomb in the heart of Istanbul’s historic district on Tuesday, killing 10 foreigners — most of them German tourists — and wounding 15 other people in the latest in a string of attacks by the Islamic extremists targeting Westerners. The blast, just steps from the historic Blue Mosque and a former Byzantine church in the city’s storied Sultanahmet district, was the ¿rst by IS to target Turkey’s Yital tourism sector, although IS militants haYe struck with deadly effect elsewhere in the country. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet 'aYutoglu said the bomber was a member of IS and pledged to battle the militant group until it no longer “remains a threat” to Turkey or the world. 'aYutoglu described the assailant as a “foreign national,” and Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said he was a Syrian citizen born in 1. +oweYer, the priYate Dogan news agency said the bomber was Saudi-born. Kurtulmus said the attacker was belieYed to haYe recently entered Turkey from Syria and was not among a list of potential bombers wanted by Turkey. Eight Germans were among the dead and nine others were wounded, some seriously, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters in Berlin. House approves bill to sanction North Korea after nuke test WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans and Democrats joined together Tuesday to oYerwhelmingly approYe legislation that aims to punish North Korea for conducting its latest nuclear test. Wednesday, January 13, 2016 Just hours ahead of President Barack Obama’s ¿nal State of the Union address, lawmakers passed the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act by a Yote of 418-2. The bill proposes stronger sanctions that deny Pyongyang the money it needs for deYeloping miniaturized nuclear warheads and the long-range missiles to deliYer them, according to the legislation’s backers. Cutting off North Korea’s access to cash also makes it dif¿cult for Pyongyang to pay its army and police forces, said Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “What we are concerned about here is the miniaturization of nuclear warheads that ¿t onto its most reliable missiles,” Royce said Monday on the House Àoor. “This threat is unacceptable, and it has to be aggressiYely challenged.” The White House does not oppose the House sanctions bill, said a senior administration of¿cial who was not authorized to speak publicly about the legislation and requested anonymity. The administration is deeply concerned about North Korea’s recent actions, the of¿cial said, and will continue to use existing sanctions authorities to preYent ¿nancial support for North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs.
