ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />STORY: State Department spokesperson Marie Harf side stepped questions from the media about what role the U.S. may have played in the apparent internet outage in North Korea.<br/> <br />When asked whether the U.S. was involved in anything related to the internet shutting down in North Korea, Harf said, "This isn't our internet...I would go ask the North Koreans."<br/> <br />"We are just not going to entertain questions one way or another about, you know, any of these questions about, you know, possible U.S. responses of any kind. And I would caution you from assuming that because I am not going to comment on them-- that the answer means one thing or the other."<br/> <br />North Korea, at the center of a confrontation with the United States over the hacking of Sony Pictures, experienced a complete Internet outage for hours before links were restored on Tuesday, a U.S. company that monitors Internet infrastructure said.
