- The United States once again designated North Korea as a terrorist state on May 1, 2001. Through the annual report of world terrorism, US State Department announced that it would continuously designate the seven countries—North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lybia, Sudan, and Syria—as terrorism-supporting countries. North Korea has been stipulated as terrorism-supporting country for fourteen years in a row since its state agents exploded a Korean Air airliner in 1987. The same report also pointed out that North Korea provides a hermitage to the Red Army members who hijacked a Japanese airliner in 1970, and that it also provided weapons to the anti-government Islamic rebels in the Philippines.
