North Korea stepped up the rhetoric on South Korea on Sunday,
repeating a threat to suspend all inter-Korean dialogue in protest
over remarks by the south's top general.
The official Korean Central News Agency lashed out at remarks
by South Korea's new Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) head Kim Tae-Young
that it would hit the north's nuclear sites should Pyongyang attack
it with atomic weapons.
The agency said Kim's remarks represented the new policy of President
Lee Myung-Bak's government that was launched in Seoul last month.
"Our revolutionary army will counter any slightest move
of the South's 'preemptive attack' on our nuclear bases with a
more rapid and more powerful preemptive attack," it said
in a commentary, echoing an earlier warning.

"It should be kept in mind that once our preemptive attack
is launched, everything will turn into ashes, not just a sea of
flames."
In a first official reaction to the latest in a series of moves
by the North which have heightened tensions, the South's defence
ministry said it had no plans to respond immediately to Pyongyang.
