KINGSTON, Jamaica ? One of the founders of a leading Jamaican reggae and rocksteady trio from the 1960s has died.

A bandmate says Barry Llewellyn of the Heptones died Wednesday at age 64. Lead singer Leroy Sibbles said Friday that Llewellyn died of unknown causes at Kingston Public Hospital.

Llewellyn founded the Heptones with Earl Morgan in the late 1950s. The group was considered highly influential during the island's rocksteady era in the 1960s.

The Heptones reunited in the 1990s after a nearly 20-year absence during a worldwide ska and rocksteady revival.

Llewellyn is survived by his wife, Monica, and several children.

Nuclear waste shipment enters Germany (AP)

BERLIN ? A shipment of nuclear waste reprocessed in France has arrived in Germany on its way to a controversial storage site that protesters say is unsafe.

The dapd news agency reported the train carrying the waste crossed into western Germany early Friday after delays in France where activists damaged the rail tracks in an attempt to halt the shipment.

Some 20,000 police officers will be securing the shipment in Germany.

This is the first shipment of nuclear waste from France to Germany since Berlin decided to shut all its nuclear plants by 2022, following the disaster at Japan's Fukushima plant.

But officials haven't yet resolved where waste should be stored permanently ? and activists argue the site in northern German town of Gorleben is unsafe.
