| In 2000 the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) engaged in three
rounds of terrorism talks that culminated in a joint
DPRK-US statement wherein the DPRK reiterated its
opposition to terrorism and agreed to support international
actions against such activity. The DPRK, however,
continued to provide safehaven to the Japanese
Communist League-Red Army Faction members who
participated in the hijacking of a Japanese Airlines
flight to North Korea in 1970. Some evidence also
suggests the DPRK may have sold weapons directly
or indirectly to terrorist groups during the year;
Philippine officials publicly declared that the
Moro Islamic Liberation Front had purchased weapons
from North Korea with funds provided by Middle East
sources. |
