Nagasaki Marks 76th Anniversary of U.S. Nuclear Attack
------------------------------------------------------

Today marks 76 years since the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the
Japanese city of Nagasaki, killing 74,000 people, just three days after
the U.S. dropped the world's first atomic bomb in Hiroshima, killing
some 140,000 people. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
came into force earlier this year, but neither Japan nor the United
States have signed it.
