South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun had earlier said he would establish a commission to probe the sensitive period of Japan's colonial rule...

He lunged at his sister with a knife, but she fled toward a policeman standing nearby. Shaima's brother explained to the officer that he was carrying out the family's desire to "cleanse" the shame over Shaima's profession.
