North Korea has warned the United States that any decision to send more troops to the region could lead the North to make a pre-emptive attack on American forces. US officials said on Tuesday that Washington was considering strengthening its military forces in the Pacific Ocean as a deterrent against North Korea. They said the reinforcements would help signal that a possible war with Iraq was not distracting the US from a nuclear stand-off with the North. North Korea also warned that any US strike against its nuclear facilities at Yongbyon would trigger "full scale war". The North said on Wednesday that it had reactivated the nuclear site and its operations were now going ahead "on a normal footing". Pyongyang says it will use the facilities to produce electricity "at the present stage". However, the US and nuclear experts say the Yongbyon reactor, which has been mothballed since 1994, is too small to generate meaningful amounts of electricity. news.bbc.co.uk
