U.S. Suspicious of N. Korea Site

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States still harbors suspicions about the
purpose of a mysterious underground site in North Korea EVEN THOUGH a U.S.
inspection team found only an empty tunnel complex during a visit there last
month, the State Department said Wednesday.

U.S. Ambassador Charles Kartman, the special envoy on the North Korean issue,
discussed the findings of the inspection team with North Korean Vice Foreign
Minister Kim Gye Gwan during a meeting in Beijing.

The two will resume their talks Thursday, said State Department spokesman
James Rubin.

Some U.S. officials were concerned that North Korea was using the site for
production of nuclear weapons, but when the U.S. team visited the site May
20-24, it found only empty tunnels.

Rubin said that since the return of the team, a fuller technical analysis has
been completed to try to determine what the site might have been intended
for.

He said that while ``suspicions remain'' about the site, there is nothing to
suggest that North Korea was violating a 1994 pledge to be free of nuclear
weapons.

A follow-up visit is scheduled for next year.
