AHN of the exercises was conditional on KANGNUNG, South Korea South Korea sought to revive joint military exercises with the United States today in light of an incursion by a North Korea submarine, a move that could heighten tensions on the Korean peninsula. The exercises, held annually since 1976, were suspended in 1994 as part of an agreement to freeze and eventually dismantle North Korea's suspected nuclear weapons program. Reviving the spring exercises could jeopardize the agreement, because North Korea had insisted that they were a serious security threat. South Korean military officials. North Korea's promise to refrain from military provocations a promise the South says has been broken. "The latest North Korean provocation by its regular army is a direct challenge to joint South Korea-U.efforts to ease tension on the peninsula," a South Korean Defense Ministry statement said. But as Washington has repeatedly expressed satisfaction that North Korea is upholding its end of the nuclear bargain, it would appear unlikely that the Pentagon would jeopardize that pact by renewing the exercises.

S. ing Korean peace talks jointly proposed by Washington and Seoul five months ago. The two allies had invited North Korea and China talks to to join them in four-wa- y discuss a permanent peace on the peninsula. South Korea suggested reviving the exercises in reaction to the incursion of the North Korean submarine, discovered last Wednesday stranded on a reef just yards off South Korea's eastern coast. Of the some 25 North Koreans believed to have been aboard, 20 have died. South Korean soldiers killed nine infiltratois. It was believed that 11 North Koreans found dead were killed by their comrades to prevent their capture. A massive manhunt for the five North Koreans still believed at large wore through its seventh day today, and speculation mounted that the infiltrators had managed to slip through a cordon of 60,000 soldiers, police and reservists. South Korea's government sees the infiltration as the most serious violation of the Korean War armistice in decades. ye Sells Lighting For Less!
