Koreas finish removal of weapons from Joint Security Area


South and North Korea have completed removing troops, guard posts and weapons from the Joint Security Area with the help of the United Nations Command. Now stripped of its weapons, the two Koreas want that area within the DMZ to be one of peace, and not hostility.

Bruce Harrison reports from Seoul.

The Joint Security Area is usually the spot for negotiations between the two Koreas.

But it's also been the scene of several bloody shootouts since the end of the Korean War.

To prevent that from happening again and help along current peace talks, all troops and weapons were removed from that area.

Unarmed North and South Korean military police will now be able to patrol freely on both sides of the line separating the two countries.

And the changes could mean a boon for DMZ tourism. Korean visitors and foreign tourists will also be able to step across that famous dividing line.
