NK Missile Warhead Found in Alaska"
By Ryu Jin

Staff Reporter

The warhead of a long-range missile test-fired by North Korea was
found in the U.S. state of Alaska, a report to the National Assembly
revealed yesterday.

``According to a U.S. document, the last piece of a missile warhead
fired by North Korea was found in Alaska,'' former Japanese foreign
minister Taro Nakayama was quoted as saying in the report.
``Washington, as well as Tokyo, has so far underrated Pyongyang´s
missile capabilities.''

The report was the culmination of monthlong activities of the
Assembly's overseas delegation to five countries over the North
Korean nuclear crisis. The Assembly dispatched groups of lawmakers to
the United States, Japan, China, Russia and European Union last month
to collect information and opinions on the international issue.
The team sent to Japan, headed by Rep. Kim Hak-won of the United
Liberal Democrats, reported, ``Nakayama said Washington has come to
put more emphasis on trilateral cooperation between South Korea,
Japan and the United States since it recognized that the three
countries are within the range of North Korean missiles.''
According to the group dispatched to the U.S., American politicians
had a wide range of opinions over the resolution of the nuclear
issue, from ``a peaceful resolution´´ to ``military response.´´
Doves, such as Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and co-
chairman of the Bipartisan Task Force on Nonproliferation, called for
a peaceful settlement of the current confrontation, by offering food,
energy and other humanitarian aid to the poverty-stricken country,
while urging the North to give up its nuclear ambitions.
Rep. Markey also said the North should return to the nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty and the U.S. should make a nonaggression p act
with the communist North.

Hardliners, however, warned that the North's possession of nuclear
weapons will instigate a nuclear race in the region, provoking Japan
to also acquire nuclear weapons. Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, an Illinois
Republican, said the U.S. might have to bomb the Yongbyon nuclear
complex should the North try to export its nuclear material to other countries.
Over the controversy concerning the withdrawal of U.S. forces
stationed here, most American legislators that the parliamentary
delegation met said U.S. troops should stay on the peninsula as long
as the Korean people want, the report said.
