- North Korea's official news agency claimed Friday that
the situation is so tense on the Korean peninsular "that a nuclear
war may break out there any moment."

- The official communist news agency said the recent U.S.-South
Korean exercises have been timed to coincide with the U.S. invasion of
Iraq, as part of America's "win-win strategy, a key link in the whole
chain of its strategy to dominate the world by holding an upper hand in
strength, is being put into practice on the Korean Peninsula."
-
- On Saturday, North Korea added to its rhetoric by canceling
a planned economic meeting between the two Koreas.

- "When our dialogue partner is threatening us with
a dagger, we have no option but to conclude that we must delay the talks,"
said Pyongyang's communist Central Radio.
-
- South Korea, in addition to its military exercises with
the U.S., increased it state of alert earlier this week fearing that North
