North Korea proposes troop separation at Panmunjom
North Korea urged physical separation of its troops from United Nations Command forces at Panmunjom to prevent clashes after last week's killings of two American officers. Maj. Gen. Han Ju kyong proposed dividing guards by the military demarcation line through the joint security area, with North Koreans north of the line and Americans and South Koreans south of it. The proposal followed an earlier message from Kim Il sung expressing regret and urging efforts to prevent future incidents. U.S. Rear Adm. Mark Frodden called the plan positive but unsatisfactory and sought more specifics as the armistice commission met for the third time since the killings.
