After the top court in Malaysia paved the way for the extradition of nationals to the United States to face money laundering charges, North Korea has decided to sever its diplomatic ties with the South Asian nation. Washington would "pay a price", North Korea's foreign affairs ministry warned on Friday. The warning came after the Malaysian court okayed the extradition of a North Korean man, Mun Chol Myong to the United States.
