SEOUL, Nov 13: North Korea on Monday accused the United States of using South Korea as a nuclear outpost by deploying some 1,000 atomic bombs in the country. The North's Korean National Peace Committee said the United States should be denounced for posing the greatest threat of a nuclear war.
“South Korea has turned into the biggest nuclear outpost in the Far East with the deployment of about 1,000 US nuclear weapons of different types and their delivery vehicles,” the committee said in a statement.
