| [Kyodo: Korea] North Korea on Friday declared a ''retaliatory holy war'' against South Korea over its plan to take action north of the border in case of an emergency, while at the same time informing the South that it will accept 10,000 tons of corn aid it was offered in October, Yonhap News Agency reported. While accepting the humanitarian aid, North Korea took issue with reports that Seoul recently renewed its so-called Operational Plan 5029 meant to authorize the entry of South Korean and U.S. troops into the North in case of any emergency north of the border. |
