- PYONGYANG, North Korea (UPI)
-- Pyongyang warned the danger of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula is
growing in a New Year's editorial published in North Korea's three major
newspapers.
-
- "The danger of a nuclear war is growing on the Korean
peninsula as the days go by, owing to the U.S. moves to stifle the (North
Korea)," the editorial said.
-
- "All Koreans should stage a powerful struggle for
peace against war in order to drive the U.S. troops out of South Korea,
remove the very source of a nuclear war and defend the peace and security
on the Korean peninsula."
-
- The editorial contrasted with last year's message, making
no mention of a need by the North for a nuclear deterrent, and called on
the United States to end its hostile attitude toward North Korea, which
U.S. President George Bush named to an "axis of evil" that also
includes Iran and Iraq.
-
- The United States and North Korea's neighbors are hoping
North Korea will agree to restart talks on its nuclear activities in coming
weeks, the Financial Times reported.
