'US to de-list North Korea conditionally'

The United States will take North Korea off its terror list "immediately" if it can agree a way to verify its nuclear facilities, top envoy Christopher Hill said Saturday. The renewed pledge followed a flurry of meetings here after North Korea said it had stopped dismantling its Yongbyon nuclear reactor and started taking equipment back to the site.
"I want to stress that we're not looking to verify their declaration (of nuclear activities) now, we're looking to come up with rules of how we will verify it in the future," Hill told reporters. "Our focus is on trying to get through the verification protocol and then we will take them off the terrorism list immediately," he said.
