By Hwang Doo-hyong
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (Yonhap) -- The United States Saturday removed North Korea
from a U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism in a major breakthrough in
stalled six-party talks on ending the North's nuclear ambitions.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice "has rescinded the designation of North Korea as a state terror sponsor,"
adding Pyongyang had agreed to verification of its uranium-based nuclear program
and nuclear proliferation as well as the plutonium-producing facilities.
