N.Korea Says U.S. in Nuclear War Preparations Sun Mar 2, 4:24 AM ET SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean media accused the United States on Sunday of pushing into full swing preparations for nuclear war against the communist state, and warned such a war could wreak havoc. The North's official Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) quoted the ruling communist party's Rodong Sinmun as saying the U.S. Department of Defense recently ordered huge U.S. air force deployments in South Korea, Japan and around the Korean peninsula. Besides, it added, the U.S. Air Forces Command in South Korea put its units at "semi-war footing." The paper said, "If the U.S. imperialists ignite a war on the Korean peninsula, the war will turn into a nuclear war." It added, "As a consequence, the Koreans in the north and south and the people in Asia and the rest of the world will suffer horrifying nuclear disasters." The paper said nuclear weapon production factories in the United States were developing and manufacturing weapons to destroy underground structures in the isolated country. On Saturday, Pyongyang accused Washington of stepping up spy flights in preparation for war, while South Korea's new president vowed to work for a swift and peaceful end to the nuclear crisis on the peninsula. "The DPRK neither wants a war nor avoids it," the KCNA said in a commentary on Saturday. DPRK is an acronym for Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the state's official name. Tension over North Korea's suspected nuclear weapons plans spiked on Wednesday after Washington, citing satellite photographs, said North Korean scientists had fired up a reactor mothballed since 1994 at the Yongbyon complex north of Pyongyang. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
