US Regrets 'Insult' to DPRK

The United States has said it regretted an incident at the Frankfurt airport that led DPRK to withdraw its delegation from the United Nations Millennium summit.

The DPRK officials took exception to the actions of United States airline security personnel at Frankfurt airport who demanded to search the delegation members and their belongings.

"It's certainly an unfortunate incident we regret," White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said.

He blamed the incident on the unfamiliarity of US airline security personnel in dealing with the DPRK officials.

The White House stressed that no US officials were actually involved.

As diplomats, the DPRK officials should not have had to undergo any searches.

In a statement the DPRK foreign ministry threatened unspecified retaliation for what Pyongyang is seeing as a grave insult.
