The North Korean threat to "wipe out" the South was largely dismissed by Lee's government as a repeat of past rhetoric, but analysts saw it as an attempt to grab the attention of Barack Obama just days before his is sworn in as U.S. president. Hyun In-taek who takes over at the Unification Ministry, which deals with the communist neighbor, is a conservative scholar who helped Lee draw up the policy that demands Pyongyang drop its nuclear arms ambitions in return for South Korea's economic help. His appointment is likely to further aggravate Pyongyang, which has called Lee "a traitor to the nation" for his North Korea policy and for ending what had been a free flow of aid under his two liberal predecessors. Multilateral talks on halting North Korea's nuclear drive sputtered during the final months of President George W. Bush's term as Pyongyong re-positioned to press for more concessions from the new administration in Washington, experts said. South Korea's military has been on heightened alert since a North Korean army spokesman said on Saturday that Seoul had "opted for confrontation" and that the North's forces were "compelled to take an all-out confrontational posture to shatter them. Fishing vessels have been advised not to sail near waters at the center of naval border disputes with the North. The North's weekend comments came as a U.S. expert returning from talks in Pyongyang said the reclusive state had "weaponised" enough plutonium for four to five nuclear weapons. South Korea's financial markets showed little reaction to the latest developments. Five-year credit default swaps (CDS), an indicator of perceived economic risk in a country, narrowed to 290 basis points early on Monday from 305 on Friday, suggesting investors were not particularly concerned with the North's threats. SOUTH DISMISSIVE South Korea's Defence Ministry has brushed off the North Korean threat. "Much of the comments are the usual rhetoric and arguments that have been issued previously," Defence Ministry spokesman Won Tae-jae told a news briefing. "North Korea talks a lot but we will have few words and instead respond with action." Won said all commanding military officers were at their posts overseeing beefed-up surveillance to detect and counter any moves by the North but no unusual activities have been seen. Analysts said the comments may have been aimed less at the South than at grabbing the attention of Obama, who will be inaugurated as U.S. president on Tuesday. "That the North issued this statement just before the new U.S. administration takes office means it is trying to tell the U.S. that North Korea issues can't be put in the back burner," Dongguk University professor Koh Yu-hwan said.  Continued...
