N. Korea's parliament to meet in rare 2nd session
North Korea will convene a rare second parliamentary session in early June, the communist country announced Tuesday, amid rising tensions over speculation that the regime may have torpedoed a South Korean warship in March.
No reason for the second session was given, but analysts said it might be related to high tension over the sunken ship, supreme leader Kim Jong Il's recent trip to China or his moves to groom his son as eventual successor. (AP)
