 N.Korea repeats threat to shell S.Korea propaganda sites
 
 
 
 
 
 
SEOUL (AFP) - – North Korea threatened Friday to attack sites in South Korea if Seoul carries out its threat to start cross-border propaganda broadcasts and leaflet launches.
 
The communist state's military renewed its earlier threats of a strike in a message to the South's armed forces, Pyongyang's official news agency reported.
 
The loudspeakers and other sites will face "a physical strike from our army" if the official propaganda campaign is launched, the North said.
 
It described comments by the South's defence minister about a possible resumption as "a declaration of war" and "grave military provocation".
 
The two sides reached a deal in 2004 to halt their cross-border government-level propaganda war. But the South made preparations to restart it after accusing the North of sinking one of its warships in March, a charge it denies.
 
Seoul's military printed hundreds of thousands of leaflets and installed loudspeakers in border areas.
 
Defence Minister Kim Tae-Young said last week the speakers would be switched on and the leaflets would be launched in response to any fresh cross-border provocation.
 
The North has previously threatened to open fire at the speakers if they are activated.
 
Private activist groups already float balloons across the heavily fortified frontier which carry tens of thousands of leaflets denouncing the regime of leader Kim Jong-Il.
 
The South says it has no law to ban this, but the North reacts angrily.
 
At inter-Korean military talks on September 30, the North's chief delegate said artillery units were preparing to open fire on the South Korean sites used to launch the leaflets.
 
After months of tension over the warship, the North has made some apparent conciliatory gestures in recent weeks. The two sides have agreed to resume reunions for families separated by war 60 years ago, starting October 30.
 
But the North's tough rhetoric continued.
 
On Friday it accused the South of staging exercises "for a war of aggression" at a time when the preparations for reunions are under way.
 
Pyongyang denounced an international naval exercise hosted by South Korea this week as "a declaration of an all-out confrontation" and "an extremely dangerous act" pushing relations to the brink of war.
 
The South for the first time played a full part in the US-led Proliferation Security Initiative, designed to block shipment of weapons of mass destruction and held off the southern port of Busan.
 
The North "stands for dialogue and peace but if the aggressors impose a war upon it, it will wipe them out to the last man and blow up their strongholds", said a state committee in charge of cross-border relations.
