North Korea threatens to pull out of Asian Games in the South


SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea threatened on Friday to pull out of the Asian Games due to take place in rival South Korea later this year, accusing the South of plotting to block its athletes from taking part.

A rare meeting between the two sides on Thursday ended with no agreement on the size of the North's contingent, which is expected to include about as many cheerleaders as athletes.
