Only in New York: Thief Mugs Bank Robber UPI/KFI ^ \| July 12, 2006 A man who robbed a New York bank fled on foot and ended up losing his loot on the street to another thief who stole his haul. The original robbery of the Independence Bank was July 3, when several good Samaritans took after the thief on foot and ran him down, the New York Post said Wednesday. In the scuffle of subduing him, another man who had witnessed the robbery grabbed the bank bags containing about $3,000, police said. At the scene, police arrested James Boccanfusso and charged him with bank robbery, and the Samaritans provided a description of the second thief. Tuesday, officers spotted the wanted man near the Independence Bank, and arrested him as well. Kareem Sims, 31, is charged with robbery and possession of stolen property, the newspaper said.

S. Korea Halts Humanitarian Aid to N. Korea Washington Post ^ \| July 13, 2006 \| Anthony Faiola TOKYO, July 13 -- South Korea on Thursday suspended humanitarian aid to North Korea until it agrees to return to international nuclear disarmament talks. The action infuriated visiting North Korean officials, who immediately cut off high-level talks in South Korea and stormed back home. The decision to postpone consideration of a North Korean request for 500,000 tons of rice marked the South's first punitive action against its impoverished communist neighbor since it defied the international community and test fired seven missiles, including a long-range Taepodong-2, on July 4. The move came as the administration of South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun has come under sharp public criticism at home for what many there viewed as a weak response by Seoul to the North's missile tests. South Korea on Thursday reiterated its deep opposition to a push by Japan and the United States to impose broader sanctions on North Korea through a draft resolution at the United Nation's Security Council. Seoul has also vowed to maintain its "sunshine policy" of engagement, which has fostered the warmest ties between the Stalinist North and capitalist South since the Korean War divided them in two more than half a century ago. But the decision to follow through with a previous threat to suspend food aid if North Korea tested missiles -- a threat many experts doubted the South Koreans would stick to -- displayed a new willingness by the South to use its significant economic clout to apply pressure on the North.
