RIO DE JANEIRO  Public transit vans like the one in which 
an American student was gang raped last month were banned Thursday from 
Rio de Janeiro's touristy South Zone neighborhoods.The measure was floated 
late last year as a way to help ease the city's chronic 
traffic jams but gained urgency as a safety measure in the wake 
of the March 30 attack on the American woman and her French 
companion, who were attacked by a van driver and two other young 
men who brutalized them for about six hours inside the vehicle.Under a 
decree published Thursday in the local government's Official Journal, the 
vans will be prohibited from operating in high-rent neighborhoods including 
Ipanema and Leblon beaches, as well as Copacabana, where the two foreigners 
boarded the van to travel to a nightlife hotspot in downtown. Exceptions 
will be made for vans serving two "favela" hillside slums sandwiched between 
high-rent South Zone neighborhoods, according to the decree, which takes 
effect on Monday.Without the vans and with a key metro station closed 
pending the extension of the subway, residents and workers in the South 
Zone will need to rely on buses, taxis and private vehicles to 
get around.The 12-seat vans are seen as a quicker alternative to buses 
and largely travel the same routes. They will continue to ply the 
poor, sprawling suburbs that ring this city of 6 million.Thursday's decree 
was the second safety regulation for public vans put in place since 
the
aircraft and a land-based radar system, a Defense Ministry official said 
in Seoul, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with department rules. 
Japan deployed PAC-3 missile interceptors around Tokyo.But officials in 
Seoul played down security fears, noting that no foreign government has 
evacuated its citizens from either Korean capital."North Korea has continuously 
issued provocative threats and made efforts to raise tension on the Korean 
peninsula ... but the current situation is being managed safely and our 
and foreign governments have been calmly responding," Foreign Ministry spokesman 
Cho Tai-young told reporters Thursday.The war talk is seen as a way 
for North Korea to draw attention to the precariousness of the security 
situation on the Korean Peninsula and to boost the military credentials 
of young leader Kim Jong Un.The Korean War ended in 1953 with 
a truce, not a peace treaty, and the U.S. and North Korea 
do not have diplomatic relations.For weeks, the U.S. and South Korea have 
staged annual military drills meant to show the allies' military might. 
North Korea condemns the drills as rehearsal for an invasion.Citing the 
tensions, North Korea on Monday pulled more than 50,000 workers from the 
Kaesong industrial park, which combines South Korean technology and know-how 
with cheap North Korean labor. It was the first time that production 
was stopped at the decade-old factory park, the only remaining symbol of 
economic cooperat
