boxing great mohamed ali is calling for muslim leaders to not bring fear. he says in part, i am a muslim. there is nothing islamic about killing innocent people in paris, san bernardino or anywhere else in the world. true muslims know the ruthless violence of so-called islamic jihadists goes against the tenaten innoce tenets of our religion. he says we need to stand up to those who use religion to further their agenda. >>> tennessan alarming announcet of north korea. kim jong-un says his country has developed a hydrogen bomb. keir simmons is following this story. >> this is the first time north korea's leader claimed his nation developed a hydrogen bomb. weeks ago, he issued an equally belligerent statement, that he could attack the u.s. at any time. the hydrogen bomb produces a stronger blast than the nitrogen bomb. he has been on a campaign to pressure the international community, repeatedly making threats. last month, north korea staged the biggest military parade in its history, but did not appear to be any new weapons. a year ago, computer hackers atta
