NKorea says it won't honor past accords with South
« on: January 29, 2009, 06:53:25 PM »
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea says it is rescinding past military and political agreements with South Korea over Seoul's hard-line stance toward Pyongyang.

The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland is accusing South Korea of pushing the two Koreas to the brink of war.

The committee said in a statement carried Friday by state-run media that it considers all inter-Korean agreements "dead" and says it will not honor their disputed western sea border.

Tensions have been high since South Korean President Lee Myung-bak took office nearly a year ago pledging to get tough on Pyongyang.
