WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States announced on Saturday it would take North Korea off its terrorism blacklist amid faltering denuclearization talks in the final months of the Bush administration.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the decision was made after North Korea agreed to a series of verification measures of its nuclear facilities.
McCormack also said North Korea would resume disablement of its nuclear facilities.
