South Korea said Wednesday that it is considering an offer by North Korea to allow South Korean businessmen to visit a shuttered joint industrial complex in the North and hold talks on possibly removing some of their equipment. The two nations are on very tense footing as North Korea has threatened to attack the South and U.S forces stationed there. The North is also pursuing a new round talk over its nuclear weapons program.
