A U.S. congresswoman said Monday she will introduce a bill calling for re-listing North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism in response to the communist nation's alleged cyber-attack on Sony Pictures.
"North Korea should have never been taken off the state sponsor of terrorism list and should be reinstated immediately," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) said in comments emailed to Yonhap News Agency. "I will soon be reintroducing legislation to redesignate North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism and to ratchet up the sanctions pressure on the North Korean regime."
The congresswoman welcomed the latest sanctions that the administration of President Barack Obama imposed on North Korea last week in response to the Sony hack, but she stressed that what's more important is to enforce those sanctions.
