1. SONY HACKERS THREAT

All this over a movie?: The group that says it hacked Sony Pictures over the upcoming film “The Interview” is now threatening moviegoers. In an anonymous post, hackers claiming to be the “Guardians of Peace” said people who see the movie would suffer a “bitter fate.” Then came the ominous line: “Remember the 11th of September 2001.” Actor Seth Rogen and James Franco canceled all of their upcoming press events following the threat. Tomorrow’s New York premier of the film has been called off too. “The Interview” is a comedy about a plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. It’s set to open Christmas Day. Some security experts believe North Korea is behind the hacking incident.

Markets remained closed as residents attended funerals across the city. “Even the children are dying on the frontline in the war against terror,” said Khawaja Asif, the nation’s defense minister. “The smaller the coffin, the heavier it is to carry.”
