(4th LD) N. Korea suspends Kaesong tours, historic train link

   By Shim Sun-ah
SEOUL, Nov. 24 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said on Monday it will suspend tours to Kaesong, halt cross-border rail services and close the border to South Koreans traveling for economic cooperation projects starting early next week in protest of Seoul's tough policy toward Pyongyang.

The North will also "selectively" eject South Koreans and vehicles from the joint Mount Geumgang resort and the industrial complex in the North Korean border town of Kaesong, and halve the number of South Koreans in the complex, according to seven different messages the North delivered to the South.
