The United States has decided to keep North Korea off its list of states that sponsor terrorism despite concerns that Pyongyang may have been involved in the illegal proliferation of weapons.
The U.S. State Department’s Country Reports on Terrorism 2009 terror blacklist that was unveiled Friday once again included Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba as nations that sponsor terrorism.
However, North Korea was not included on the list following the department’s determination that Pyongyang had not sponsored any terrorist acts.
The U.S. removed the North from the terrorism blacklist in 2008 after the communist state pledged to scrap its nuclear program and agreed to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency
