PANMUNJOM, South Korea - The body of a North Korean soldier, shot and killed in the DMZ last Tuesday, was returned to his home today.

In a brief ceremony, six members from the UN Command turned over the casket to six N. Korean guards.

North Korea is reporting a 'Friendship Delegation' has already met in N. Korea which included Vice-Premier Jang Chol and Jong Ryong Chol.

Derailed Peace Talks between the two Koreas and the US to replace the 1953 UN Armistice which ended official hostilities are expected to resume this Thursday.
