South Korea willing to evacuate workers from North's factory park-minister

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea is willing to pull out workers from the Kaesong industrial complex jointly run with North Korea if it becomes dangerous for them, the South's unification minister said on Friday amid growing tension on the Korean peninsula.

Increasingly strident rhetoric from the North has reached new heights, with South Korea and its ally the United States beefing up defences in and around the peninsula after the North denied entry to the complex this week for hundreds of South Korean workers.
