NORTH Korea is to expel all South Koreans from a mountain resort amid growing tension following the fatal shooting of a southern tourist.
The North's Korean Central News Agency quoted an unnamed military spokesman as saying the North would begin to eject all remaining South Korean workers and business people from the Diamond Mountain resort.
The North said an army guard shot dead a 53-year-old South Korean housewife on holiday at the resort on July 11 because she entered a restricted military area and ignored a warning to stop.
