US To Deploy New Missiles In S.Korea To Destroy WMD In N.Korea
Yonhap News Agency | December 22 2004
The United States will deploy missiles to South Korea in 2005 with the aim of destroying underground facilities for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in North Korea, a U.S. think tank said.
"The (U.S. President George W.) Bush administration plans to deploy a new set of missiles to South Korea next year that are designed to destroy the underground installations where the North Koreans are storing their WMDs," the Center for American Progress (CAP) said in a report carried on its Web site (http://www.americanprogress.org).
The report said such a "move will only make negotiations more difficult" as North Korea and other countries tended to accelerate their efforts to develop WMDs when they are threatened.
The report, "The Road to Nuclear Security," said the U.S. rhetoric that it will not bargain with North Korea until its nuclear weapons program is terminated has been scaled back in recent months following pressure from China and South Korea.
The report assumed that North Korea possesses at least eight nuclear weapons.
The assumption is within the range
of two to nine nuclear bombs that the South Korean and U.S. governments
and think tanks estimate the North to have.
