SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea, facing a looming deadline in a nuclear disarmament deal, blamed the United States on Monday for hurting the prospects for peace on the Korean peninsula with plans to attack the reclusive state.
North Korea is almost certain to miss an end-of-year deadline to give a full accounting of its nuclear arms programs under a disarmament-for-aid deal it struck earlier this year with regional powers, including the United States.
"The reality testifies once again that there is no change in the U.S. intention to invade us with force and occupy the whole of Korea, although the U.S. is uttering 'peace' and 'dialogue'," the North's communist party newspaper said in a commentary.
"Dialogue and war attempts can't stand together."
The U.S. government has said Washington has no plans to attack North Korea.
In Washington, U.S. officials on Sunday said North Korea has not yet fully accounted for its nuclear activities.
