APEC summit ends with anti-terror pledge

AP , BANGKOK

Japan said yesterday that it suspected North Korea may have test-fired a second missile, although South Korea disputed Tokyo's contention.

The US pressed the summit to take note of Bush's initiative, which would commit the US, China, Japan, Russia and South Korea to a no-invasion pledge, though many details are not yet clear.

The scourge of terrorism was a prominent summit topic. Bush personally thanked Thailand for the capture of Asia's top terror suspect, known as Hambali, who is accused of masterminding bomb attacks against US and other Western targets across Southeast Asia.
