SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea accused the United States on Sunday of letting a 'terrorist' act against Cuba take place on U.S. soil, saying a recent attack against the Cuban embassy in Washington was the result of 'despicable anti-Cuban' U.S. intentions.

The United States has neglected to ensure the safety of the Cuban mission and was only keen to put countries it dislikes, such as Cuba, on its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a spokesman of North Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement.An assailant attacked the embassy on Sept. 24 with two Molotov cocktails. No one was hurt and there was no significant damage.
"This goes to prove that the above-said incidents were committed evidently at the tacit connivance of the U.S. administration," the unnamed spokesman said in the statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.The United States should"acknowledge the blame for not only the recent incident but also all the past terrorist cases and probe their truth to show its sincerity," rather than focussing on naming countries as state sponsors of terrorism, he said.
