Egypt Today, egypt today South Korean FM: North  Korea's 5th Nuke Test Tantamount to 9/11 Attack

South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se
Seoul - Arab Today

South Korea's top diplomat has said in meetings with his counterparts that North Korea's fifth nuke test is being viewed by many South Koreans as a kind of September 11 attack, official sources said Sunday.

    The comparison with the surprise terrorist attack carried out on the United States that shocked the world reflects the magnitude of the latest provocation and how alarmed South Koreans are becoming over Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities, state news agency (Yonhap) reported. "South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se has been comparing the September 9 test with the al-Qaida attack in recent meetings with foreign officials," a diplomatic source said. 

    He said linking the two is to drive home the point that the world must look upon the North's nuclear test in a different light and fully weigh the gravity of the situation. "Yun is conveying the view that circumstances are extremely grave," the official said.  "Just as the United States perception of terrorism changed after the September 11 attacks, the foreign minister is pointing out that the North's nuclear capability must be viewed differently compared with the past," he said. "This is especially true since Pyongyang has threatened pre-emptive strikes". 

    The foreign ministry insider then said that Yun's remarks also highlighted the need for drastic changes in the way the world deals with the North. Yun met with foreign ministers from 40 countries on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly held last month where he drummed up support for new pressure to be applied against the communist state.
