North Korea slams Seoul's leadership as two-faced

INTRO: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful sister accused Seoul on Wednesday of having a "double character", and slammed it for holding military drills with the US while attempting diplomatic overtures towards Pyongyang.  

Earlier this week, Kim Jong Un called for the "rapid expansion" of the North's nuclear weapons capability, pointing to the ongoing US-South Korean military exercises that he claimed could "ignite a war". Laura Westbrook reports.
