    N. Korea Accuses U.S. Of Spy Flights

    Associated Press
    November 1, 2003

    SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea accused the U.S. military on Saturday of conducting at least 200 spy flights against the communist state in October.

    North Korea said such maneuvers by the U.S. military questioned Washington's public stance that it seeks a peaceful solution to a standoff over the North's suspected development of nuclear weapons.

    Pyongyang's official news agency KCNA said U-2, RC-135 and other reconnaissance planes of the U.S. military flew "day and night" near the border between the two Koreas to "spy on strategic targets of the (North)."

    The number of such flights increased from 160 in September, it said.

    "This fact clearly indicates what they really seek in talking about 'peaceful solution' to the nuclear issue and 'written assurances of nonaggression,'" KCNA said.

    Earlier this month, President Bush proposed that the United States and North Korea's four neighbors provide written security guarantees for the North if it dismantles its nuclear weapons program.

    North Korea has said it would consider the offer.

    In talks with China this week, North Korea agreed "in principle" to return to the six-nation talks aimed at ending the nuclear crisis. The talks have stalled since August.

    The U.S. military does not comment on North Korean claims on spy flights, although it acknowledges monitoring North Korean military activity.

    The United States keeps 37,000 American troops in South Korea - a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War.
