Prior to the 2008 election of the hard line Lee administration, the South provided 400,000 tons of rice and 300,000 tons of fertilizer to the North annually.

  • North Korea might be preparing for another nuclear test. Reports of increased activity detected by US imaging satellites and South Korean reports of \"brisk movement\" of people and vehicles at the site of the North\'s 2006 nuclear tests are the bases for the spike in concern.
