North Korea calls Syria N-ties report 'conspiracy'
 North Korea said on Tuesday recent media reports that it may be providing help to Syrias nuclear activities were groundless conspiracy fabricated by those who oppose the Norths improving ties with Washington.
| And those shipments from Nork-land to Syria were ... cement. Yeah, that's right, cement ... |
The Washington Post reported last week that intelligence had led some US officials to believe Syria was receiving help from North Korea on some sort of nuclear facility. The New York Times ran a similar report. This is sheer misinformation, the Norths official KCNA news agency quoted an unnamed Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying, referring to the reports.
| The Post and the Times versus KCNA. Boy howdy there's a choice I'd prefer not to make ... |
The North made a pledge in October 2006 not to engage in nuclear proliferation and it still stood, the spokesman said adding The above-said story is nothing but a clumsy plot hatched by the dishonest forces who do not like to see any progress at the six-party talks and in the DPRK-US relations.
US President George W Bush, who once lumped North Korea with Iran and pre-war Iraq as members of an axis of evil, has offered a peace treaty with the North if Pyongyang completes nuclear disarmament. South Korea said on Monday a new round of the six-way talks would not be held on Sept. 19 as widely expected.
