North Korean Leader Takes a Defiant Stance as He Visits BorderSince the death of his father, Kim Jong-il, in December, he has frequently visited frontline military units. The agreement that North Korea struck last week with its sworn enemy the United States calls for it to suspend its nuclear weapons tests and uranium enrichment and allow international inspectors to monitor activities at its main nuclear complex, in exchange for 240,000 tons of food aid from Washington. It included a moratorium on nuclear and missile tests by the North while dialogue continued.
North Korean television broadcast images of about 150,000 people in the capital, Pyongyang, vowing to punish the South for insulting their leader, while the North’s Foreign Ministry accused the South Korean president, Lee Myung-bak, of trying to disrupt American efforts to engage the North. Photographs showed soldiers and railroad workers shaking their rifles and fists under slogans threatening Mr. Lee, including, “Let’s tear the traitor Lee Myung-bak to pieces!” or “Let’s beat the psychopathic traitor Lee Myung-bak to death!”
