[h=2]South Korea and the US postpone a major military meeting due to take place in Washington as Seoul goes on high alert for potential attacks from North Korea.[/h]
SEOUL: South Korea and the US postponed a major military meeting due to take place in Washington, an official said Sunday, as Seoul was on high alert for potential attacks from North Korea.
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his Seoul counterpart General Jung Seung-Jo were to coordinate policy on the North and other issues during the annual Military Committee Meeting on April 16.
But the meeting between the two allies had been delayed at Seoul's request, a spokesman for Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff told AFP.
"The decision to delay the meeting has been made... due to the current particular situation of our national defence," he said without elaborating.
The request was made Saturday amid concerns that the North may stage a military provocation while Seoul's military chief was away, Yonhap news agency said, citing the South's army official.
Tensions have been running high on the peninsula after a recent series of apocalyptic threats from the North incensed by fresh UN sanctions imposed after its widely-condemned long-range rocket launch and a third nuclear test.
The impoverished but nuclear-armed state has approved a nuclear attack on its "sworn enemy" the US and slapped a rare ban on South Koreans' entry to a Seoul-funded joint industrial complex in the North.
It has also reportedly loaded two intermediate-range missiles on mobile launchers and hidden them near its east coast, fuelling fear of an imminent launch that may further escalate tensions.
North Korea also gave an evacuation advisory to some foreign embassies in the capital Pyongyang, warning it could not guarantee their safety after April 10 if a conflict broke out, although most appeared to be staying put.

[h=2]The US delays an intercontinental ballistic missile test due to take place next week amid soaring nuclear tensions with North Korea, an official said Saturday.[/h]
SEOUL: The US has delayed a ballistic missile test to avoid stoking tensions with North Korea, which has warned diplomats to consider evacuating from Pyongyang as a nuclear crisis brews on the Korean peninsula.
The Pentagon's disclosure that it would reschedule the intercontinental missile test due in California next week comes as the international community grows increasingly nervous that the situation could spiral out of control.
A US defence official said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel postponed the Minuteman 3 test at Vandenberg Air Force Base until next month due to concerns it "might be misconstrued by some as suggesting that we were intending to exacerbate the current crisis with North Korea."
"We wanted to avoid that misperception or manipulation," the US official told AFP. "We are committed to testing our ICBMs to ensure a safe, secure, effective nuclear arsenal."
North Korea, incensed by UN sanctions and South Korea-US military drills, has issued a series of apocalyptic threats of nuclear war in recent weeks.
It has also reportedly loaded two intermediate-range missiles on mobile launchers and hidden them in underground facilities near its east coast, raising the spectre it is preparing for a provocative launch.
Foreign diplomats in Pyongyang huddled at the weekend to discuss the North's warning that it could not guarantee their safety after April 10 if a conflict broke out, although most appeared to be staying put.
Most of their governments have made it clear they have no immediate plans to withdraw personnel, and some suggested the advisory was a ruse to fuel growing global anxiety over the current crisis on the Korean peninsula.
"The security of the German embassy and its exposure to danger are continually being evaluated," the German foreign ministry said Saturday. "For now, the embassy can continue working."
The United Nations has also said it had no plans to pull staff out and a British Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We believe they have taken this step as part of their country's rhetoric that the US poses a threat to them."
A further meeting of EU ambassadors is due to take place on Monday in Brussels.
The North's mobilised missiles are reported to be untested Musudan models which are believed to have a range of around 3,000 kilometres that could theoretically be pushed to 4,000 kilometres with a light payload.
That would cover any target in South Korea and Japan, and possibly even reach US military bases located on the Pacific island of Guam.
The North has no proven inter-continental ballistic missile capability that would enable it to strike more distant US targets, and many experts say it is unlikely it can even mount a nuclear warhead on a mid-range missile.
After non-stop escalation including the public deployment of US warships and planes to the region, the Pentagon move was a welcome measure to cool tensions, said Yang Moo-Jin from the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.
"The US military may have felt that now was time to pace itself after weeks of hectic military confrontation," he told AFP.
"If the North really launches intermediate-range missiles as widely feared, the US may be partially blamed for having pushed it to take such drastic action by deploying extremely threatening weaponry near the Korean peninsula."
Western tourists returning from organised tours in Pyongyang -- which have continued despite the tensions -- said the situation on the ground appeared calm, with life going on as normal.
"We're glad to be back but we didn't feel frightened when we were there," said Tina Krabbe, from Denmark, arriving in Beijing this weekend after five days in North Korea.
North Korea on Wednesday put in place a ban on South Koreans accessing their companies in the Seoul-funded Kaesong industrial zone on the North side of the border. There are no cross-trips on Sundays.
Kaesong, which was established in 2004 and is a crucial hard currency source for North Korea, is the only surviving example of inter-Korean cooperation and seen as a bellwether for stability on the Korean peninsula.

US ICBM test in this era?!!
I agree. The moment NK announced that it targets US already shows that something's amiss. No sane leaders of a small country will proclaim to attack US unless the latter gives him the approval. If NK is serious about attacking US, it will turn its attention to Israel, which controls US.
U.S. should be more than happy if North Korea pull the trigger and start a war. Hopefully, China will be dragged into it ....... and then the U.S. can have the excuse to default on all the U.S. Treasury bonds owned by the chinese. After this, the U.S. economy will shoot thru the roof.
That is what the North Korean wanted to start a war and drag China into it. They need the chinese to continue to be their Patron and sponsor. Now is very different from the 1950s. The chinese don't have any real stomach for a serious war as having enjoy the sucess of capitalist economic progress. In the event that the chinese support the war directly, those Bonds & USD would be worthless wherby the the U.S. will nillify the promise notes. Chinese will loss out the US$5 Trillion.
You are right. Ideology is worth shit compared to their potential losses........ in which case, China should just stand-by and watch or even support the total obliteration of communist North Korea by the South Koreans. But they dislike a pro-U.S. South Korea at their door step.
Alternatively, one of these spy agencies should just infiltrate North Korea, shoot Kim Jong Un and install a puppet dictator .......
No spy could kill Sadam. They needed a war. So for Kim not so easy, especially with the DMZ
(that rhymes)
The americans should invent very small drones that can 'take out' people like Kim.
