FILE - In this July 28, 2008 file photo a woman sits in front of the shrine where the heart of Polish-born composer Frederic Chopin rests in the Church of the Holy Cross, in Warsaw, Poland. Polish medical experts say Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014, that the preserved heart of 19th century composer shows signs of tuberculosis and possibly some other lung disease. The findings seem to corroborate Chopin's 1849 death certificate which said that the Polish-born musician died at the age of 39 in Paris from TB. (AP Photo/Alik Keplicz, File)

Japanese Minister in charge of abductions Eriko Yamatani speaks during an interview with journalists at her office in Tokyo Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014. Yamatani urged North Korea to quickly release the results of a new investigation into the fate of dozens, possibly hundreds, of Japanese believed to have been abducted by the North's agents in the 1970s and '80s. Yamatani said it is extremely regrettable that North Korea hasn't informed Japan of the timing or other details of its expected announcement. Japanese on the posters read: "Abduction, we are sure to take them back." (AP Photo/Mari Yamaguchi)
