PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) - A new North Korean video portrays President Barack Obama and American troops in flames and says the North conducted its recent nuclear test because of U.S. hostility.
The video follows a string of critical rhetoric against the United States. Another video posted earlier this month showed an American city being attacked by missiles.
The most recent video, posted Sunday by a YouTube account affiliated
with a pro-reunification government agency, shows a blazing fire
superimposed over footage of Obama, and ends with a generic simulation
of a nuclear device exploding underground.
The United States currently is negotiating in the Security Council
for stronger U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang following a Feb. 12
nuclear test in the far northeast, the country's third since 2006.
