NORTH KOREA: Worth recapping a Yonhap story run in the NY/Asia crossover:

- "North Korea's military said Tuesday it is reviewing plans to re-enter a

border zone that was previously disarmed under an inter-Korean agreement. "Our

army is keeping a close watch on the current situation in which the north-south

relations are turning worse and worse, and getting itself fully ready for

providing a sure military guarantee to any external measures to be taken by the

Party and government," the General Staff of the Korean People's Army said in a

statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency. The KPA is studying "an

action plan for taking measures to make the army advance again into the zones

that had been demilitarized under the north-south agreement, turn the front line

into a fortress and further heighten the military vigilance against the south,"

it said. "We will map out the military action plans for rapidly carrying out the

said opinions to receive approval from the Party Central Military Commission,"

it added."
