South Korea's Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan said a North Korean atomic bomb is likely aimed directly at the South.While speaking in front of business leaders at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Friday, Minister Yu said it would be naive to think that the North Korean nuclear issue is solely a U.S. problem, adding that the communist regime's nuclear bombs are intended to target the South.
The minister also noted that Pyongyang's real goal has long been to unify the two Koreas by force. He went on to say that the reason North Korea wants to have direct talks with the U.S. is to be recognized as a nuclear power in order to proceed with arms reduction talks.
