North Korea has demanded the United States pay almost 65 trillion dollars in compensation for six decades of hostility. The official North Korean news agency, KCNA, said the cost of the damage done by the US since the peninsula was divided in 1945 is estimated at 64.96 trillion dollars. <br/><br/>The compensation call comes on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the start of the 1950-1953 Korean War. KCNA said the figure includes 26.1 trillion dollars arising from US atrocities which left more than 5 million North Koreans dead, wounded, kidnapped or missing. <br/><br/>The agency also claimed 60 years of US sanctions have caused a loss of 13.7 trillion dollars by 2005, while property losses were estimated at 16.7 trillion dollars.
