Hiroshima, Nagasaki mayors back Obama's nuclear-free commitment

NEW YORK, United States - Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba shows a paper crane, while delivering a speech during a session of the preparatory committee of the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York on May 5, as Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue (back, center) looks on. Akiba told the story of a Hiroshima atomic-bomb survivor Sadako Sasaki, who died at the age of 12 from radiation-caused leukemia after the U.S. nuclear attack in 1945. He said the paper crane in his hand was one that she made hoping for an early recovery.
