Nations wrangle over nuke crisis

SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea and North Korea argued Wednesday over how to end the crisis over the communist North's atomic weapons programs, a day after the North agreed to resume six-nation talks on the standoff.

Unless nuclear tensions ease significantly, South Korean Unification Minister Jeong Se-hyun said, South Korea cannot push ahead with tourism and industrial projects for impoverished North Korea.

North Korea agreed Tuesday to resume talks Feb. 25 with the United States, South Korea, Japan, China and Russia.
