N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il visits army unit

SEOUL, Jan. 17 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has made on-the-spot inspections at an army base and an amusement park, the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Saturday.

The report comes shortly after Pyongyang issued a threatening statement regarding
its maritime border with South Korea. It also said earlier in the day it may not
give up its nuclear weapons even if ties with the United States are normalized.
The KCNA did not disclose the date of Kim's visits. He was accompanied by two
full generals -- Ri Myong-su, Hyon Chol-hae -- along with other officials, the
KCNA said.
