The U.S. House of Representatives is to vote on a motion that would re-list North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida on Wednesday proposed the bill to add the renegade country to the list again, and eight representatives from both side of the house joined her.
In press release, Ros-Lehtinen condemned North Korea's nuclear test on Monday as a "deliberate and provocative action by theÂ… regime," which is "yet another display of the regime's hostile intentions and is a reminder that Pyongyang is one step closer toward its goal of nuclear armament." |
