SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's president on Tuesday urged North Korea to return to talks but the chances looked slim as he stopped short of dropping his demand for the North to take responsibility for attacks last year.
The call comes as tension has started to rise again on the divided peninsula, which had looked close to war late last year, with North Korea expressing outrage at this week's military exercises by South Korea and its U.S. ally and for dropping leaflets across the border with details of the unrest sweeping through the Middle East.
