and Needs Help

"PA"

Secretive North Korea finally admitted tonight that several hundred people were
killed and thousands injured when trains carrying explosives and blew up in a
station.

The Stalinist state - the world's most closed society - opened its borders to
international aid but still kept the disaster a secret from its citizens.

"We need the help of the international community. Emergency relief," said Pak
Gil, North Korea's ambassador to the UN.

Foreign aid workers and diplomats are being taken tomorrow to the site near the
Chinese border where the explosion destroyed 1,850 buildings and damaged
another 6,350, said the Red Cross.
