Spanish investigators accuse the CIA for a recent armed attack on the North Korean embassy in Madrid.

Taking religion too seriously can be fatal. A mother on trial for murdering her child offers the defense that this was a way to keep the child safe in heaven.

After she killed the child, she then tried to kill herself, convinced that she too would go to heaven.

What she did was entirely rational, taking belief in the afterlife a premise.
