Low shot of banners STORYLINE A senior US envoy in charge of implementing sanctions on Monday met South Korean officials to discuss new financial penalties on North Korea. Robert Einhorn, the US special adviser for nonproliferation and arms control, met deputy Foreign Minister Lee Yong-joon and nuclear envoy Wi Sung-lac in Seoul and was also scheduled to meet Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan. The talks came two weeks after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that the US would impose new financial sanctions on North Korea. Clinton said the new penalties would target the sale and purchase of arms and related goods used to fund Pyongyang's nuclear activities and the acquisition of luxury items to reward its elite. The details of how and when the sanctions would be carried out have not been released. Officials also said the sanctions were part of measures designed to encourage North Korea to stop its pattern of provocations. Washington and Seoul blame the North for the sinking of a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors in late March. Pyongyang denies attacking the ship. As Einhorn met the South Korean officials, a small group of pro-North Korea activists gathered outside the foreign ministry building to protest his visit. One activist said discussing sanctions against the North was "unfair, ineffective and worsens the situation".
