Hmm ... there's nothing on the raw news wires yet at work. If it's true about NK and SK, it's not good.

Le Monde is reporting the previous statement from North Korea. http://www.lemonde.fr/article/0,5987...13705-,00.html

The Chonson Diggest is reporting the suspention of the Pyongyang Summit Negotiations between NK & SK governments next Monday-Tuesday due to the SK support of US-UK attack on Iraq.

http://www.coreadelnorte.host.sk/

Still no report of troop movements.


EDIT: Suspension of Summit Negotiation not Peace Negotiation. The People's Daily from North Korea said: "The Northkorean comitee for peace and pro a reunited nation declare that support of Seoul has caused a state of maximum alert in the northern republic. The Comitee has inform the possibility of put in red alert the armed forces due to a clear menace to national security.

The "Seoul Chosun Ilbo" newspaper inform about the suspension and -textual- end of negotiations between both Koreas (Saturday 22nd). But Roh's cabinet (the president of SK) has denied to put the SK's armed forces in alert and reject the NK statement, asking for a re consideration of the summit of the next week.

Channel NewsAsia: CONFIRMED/Pyongyang suspends talks with South Korea over Iraq war alert. (22th March - 0:50 Chile / 04:50 GMT).

North Korea is postponing planned economic cooperation and maritime talks with South Korea because of Seoul's military alert posture during the Iraqi war, the South's Yonhap news agency said.

North Korea's chief delegate to the inter-Korean economic cooperation committee, Pak Chang-Ryon, said in a statement that the North had to postpone indefinitely the economic talks and maritime talks.

The talks were to have taken place in Pyongyang next week.

"We have to admit that the talks...have to be suspended as a dialogue partner keeps sabre-rattling toward its counterpart," the statement said.

"The South must be held wholly responsible for this situation," it said.

However officials of the unification ministry in Seoul said the South had not yet been officially informed of the postponement.

The move came a day after Pyongyang accused Seoul of threatening behaviour that could destroy inter-Korea relations after Seoul backed the US war on Iraq and expressed worries about the North's nuclear weapons drive.

The North said on Friday that South Korea had raised its military alert status to unprecedented levels and was staging joint military drills with the United States targeting the North.

SAFWAN, Iraq (CNN) -- Videotape shot by Kuwaiti TV crews Friday showed about a dozen villagers, most of them adult men, warmly welcoming American soldiers who arrived and briefly took up positions in the village of Safwan.

The men, a few children, and one woman spoke to at least three soldiers who got out of their vehicles. Many shook the soldiers' hands or embraced them, and some kissed the soldiers' cheeks.

"God bless you, thank you very much," said some of the villagers, according to translations by Kuwaiti TV.

"We do not want the oil. Take it. Take it. But build the country. We want to live, we want to travel, we want to walk. It cannot always be the pressure of war, war, destruction, destruction," one villager said. "Enough, enough. We are fed up, fed up. Long live the soldiers."

About a dozen other Iraqis watched from a distance.

The soldiers were seen arriving in at least three armored vehicles and one truck; two helicopters flew by in the distance.

At one point, a soldier tore large pieces from a large poster of Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi president.

One villager took off his sandal and repeatedly hit what remained of the painting of Saddam's face.

The one woman spoke emotionally to the soldiers for a few moments, but it was not clear which comments were hers.

The tape showed a group of about eight adult men and children dancing and singing, "Saddam, your days are numbered. Saddam, your days are numbered."

Well, he's entitled to his opinon, but it's not like he was drafted. If he actually goes through with that, I think they execute people for that.
