N. Korea slams USFK commander's 'dagger' remark on S. Korea

SEOUL -- North Korea on Wednesday criticized a recent remark by the commander of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) likening South Korea to a "dagger" aimed at China, warning that such an approach toward Beijing would only spur greater cooperation among countries in the region to counter Washington.

The Korean Central News Agency carried a commentary by an international relations critic after USFK Commander Gen. Xavier Brunson called South Korea a "dagger in the heart of Asia" seen from China's east coast in a podcast interview Friday.
