Sign Up News Home - Help Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Australia China India Indonesia Japan Malaysia Philippines Thailand Vietnam Search Search: S.Korea sends more troops to N.Korea border AFP - Saturday, June 13 SEOUL (AFP) - - South Korea has sent hundreds more Marines to its tense border with North Korea, military officials said on Friday as world powers prepared to punish the communist state for its nuclear test. ADVERTISEMENT US intelligence officials believe Pyongyang will respond to the UN Security Council resolution with a third atomic test, according to sources quoted by American TV networks. More Marines were sent last week to two islands along the disputed Yellow Sea border, the scene of bloody naval battles in 1999 and 2002, a Marine Corps source told AFP. He gave no figures but Yonhap news agency said more than 600 had been sent to Yeonpyeong and Baekryeong islands to reinforce the present garrisons. The North followed up its second nuclear test on May 25 by launching short-range missiles, renouncing the armistice on the Korean peninsula and threatening possible attacks on its neighbour. It is also pressuring South Korean firms at the Kaesong joint industrial estate north of the border -- the last reconciliation project between the two nations -- by demanding huge rent and wage increases. Fox News said US intelligence officials have warned President Barack Obama that the North would respond to the UN resolution with another nuclear test. South Korea's defence ministry said this was a possibility. The Security Council was to meet at 11:00 am (1500 GMT) Friday for a likely vote on a draft sanctions resolution agreed by its five permanent members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Japan and South Korea. The text calls on UN member states to slap biting sanctions on North Korea. They include tougher inspections of cargo suspected of containing banned missile- or nuclear-related items, a tighter arms embargo with the exception of light weapons and new financial restrictions. Passage is a foregone conclusion after more than two weeks of intensive bargaining. US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice has said the resolution will signal that North Korea "must pay a price, return without conditions to a process of negotiation and that the consequences they will face are significant." In addition to its nuclear confrontation the North is bitterly at odds with South Korea's conservative administration, which rolled back the "sunshine" engagement policy followed by previous liberal governments. On Thursday the North demanded that South Korean firms in Kaesong raise wages for its 40,000 workers to 300 dollars a month from around 75 dollars currently. It also called for an increase in rent for the Seoul-funded estate to 500 million dollars, compared to the current 16 million dollars for a 50-year contract. Shocked factory bosses on Friday rejected the demands, saying they already face "unbearable operational losses" due to the soured cross-border relations. "The Kaesong industrial zone, which was born from the desire for national reconciliation and co-prosperity, now faces a critical moment because of political tensions," the 106 firms at the estate said in a joint statement. Analysts said they were unsure whether Pyongyang's real aim is to shut down Kaesong or whether it is still open to negotiation. The impoverished North received 26 million dollars from South Korean firms last year in wages, which are paid to state entities and not to the workforce. Some analysts say it may be willing to forgo the cash because it fears the effects of exposing its workers to the South Korean lifestyle. "By making a demand which the South finds hard to accept, Pyongyang seems to be moving to shut down Kaesong, holding the South Korean government responsible for the closure," Yang Moo-Jin of Seoul's University of North Korean Studies told AFP. At Thursday's meeting Seoul again raised the case of a South Korean manager at Kaesong who has been detained by the North since March 30, but failed to gain access to him. The man was held for allegedly criticising the North's political system and trying to persuade a female worker to defect. Pyongyang is separately holding two US women journalists detained along its border on March 17 while researching a story. They were sentenced Monday to 12 years of "reform through labour" for what state media called an illegal border crossing and an unspecified "grave crime."
