NORTH KOREA 'TO RESUME DISABLING'

Kim Sook, South Korea's chief envoy to international nuclear talks with North Korea, made the comment to reporters Sunday.

Kim says North Korea has informed the US it would immediately resume disabling work at its Yongbyon nuclear facility in tandem with the US announcement.

North Korea halted disabling work in anger with the US over what it called a delay in the terror delisting and began moves aimed at potentially restarting the plutonium-producing facility north of the capital Pyongyang.
