U.S. WMD unit participating in joint drill with S. Korea: Sharp


SEOUL, March 11 (Yonhap) -- U.S. personnel specialized in removing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are participating in this year's joint military exercise with South Korea and would "naturally" be mobilized in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula, the top U.S. commander here said Thursday.

South Korea and the U.S. on Monday began their annual joint military drill, Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, which North Korea lambastes as a prelude to war. The WMD team from the U.S. is said to have participated in the exercise last year as well.
