US official sees signs of inter-Korean engagement (AP)

October 7th, 2010

This satellite image provided by DigitalGlobe and taken Wednesday Sept. 29, 2010 shows the Yongbyon nuclear complex in Yongbyon, North Korea. The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security released a report Sept. 30 stating that this satellite image shows new construction activity in the area surrounding the nuclear reactor at Yongbyon. The Institute for Science and International Security said satellite images showed heavy construction and excavation equipment and trucks at the Yongbyon site and construction of two small buildings near the site of the destroyed cooling tower. Under a 2007 deal, North Korea agreed to disable the complex in Yongbyon in return for 1 million tons of fuel oil and other concessions and in June 2008 even blew up its cooling tower. But disablement came to halt as Pyongyang wrangled with Washington over how to verify its past atomic activities. (AP Photo/DigitalGlobe) MANDATORY CREDIT; NO SALESAP - North and South Korea are showing positive signs of improving relations, a U.S. diplomat said Thursday, but he cautioned that Pyongyang has yet to indicate it is serious about moving forward on denuclearization.
