North Korea has leveled new threats of sacred war against the South, just hours before a scheduled meeting. South Korean officials and businessmen are to meet to discuss the future of a North Korean tourist resort. Quoting an official, North Korea's official KCNA news agency today said South Korean army units had displayed slogans slandering their Northern counterparts. The official said the Seoul government should apologize and punish the culprits or it will not escape unpredictably disastrous consequences. The latest flare-up came as a South Korean delegation headed for the North Korean mountain resort of Kunming to discuss a dispute that has halted visits to the resort since 2008.
