Washington, Jumada I 28, 1434, Apr 9, 2013, SPA - The White House said Monday that it has been taking “prudent” measures in response to the recent threats from North Korea. “That is a matter of concern and it is something that we obviously are in regular consultation about with our allies in Seoul and Tokyo, as well as with our partners around the region and the world,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. Carney said that the rhetoric and behavior of Pyongyang has “never achieved anything substantial for the North Korean people.” --SPA 10:56 LOCAL TIME 07:56 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1096393
