Ex-U.S. President Carter heads for N. Korea

BEIJING, China - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (2nd from L) smiles at a press conference in Beijing on April 25, 2011, prior to heading for North Korea with former Irish President Mary Robinson (L), former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Brundtland (2nd from R) and former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari (R) the following day. They are set to pay a three-day visit to the reclusive country in hopes of easing tensions between North and South Korea as well as reviving the stalled six-party talks on the North's nuclear programs.
