Seoul: North Korea blew up liaison office as tensions rise
Source: Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) South Korea says that North Korea has exploded an inter-Korean liaison office building just north of the tense Korean border.
Seouls Unification Ministry says the destruction of the building at the North Korean border town of Kaesong happened at 2:49 p.m. Tuesday.
North Korea had earlier threatened to demolish the building as it stepped up its fiery rhetoric over Seouls failure to stop activists from flying propaganda leaflets across the border.
Some experts say North Korea is expressing its frustration because Seoul is unable to resume joint economic projects due to U.S.-led sanctions.

Kim's sister doesn't mess around.

The difference is that if Kim and his sister want to do it, there's no one in their country who will deny them their whims.
We're not there.
Yet.
We have about 5 months to make sure we never are.

I wonder if she was annoyed at the photographer for taking a picture when she didn't expect it.
