From The Korea Herald:

The United States on Wednesday said it has no intention of relisting North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism despite nuclear and missile tests that escalated regional tensions.

The remarks by Philip Crowley, assistant secretary of state for public affairs, came in response to a letter from several U.S. senators to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday asking for the North's relisting.

"As for North Korea, I think we're aware of that letter, but as far as I know, firing off missiles and overheated rhetoric is unwise, unhelpful, but does not meet the legal definition of terrorism," Crowley said. "To list a country on the terrorism list, there's a legal requirement there. And what we've seen so far I don't think meets that legal test."
