Is North Korean technology so out of date that any nuclear weapons they fire might hit an accidental target?
Han Song-Ryol, the North’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, told South Korea’s Yonhap news agency that the United States must prove whether it wants to peacefully coexist with the communist regime. Mr Yonhap reported that Han Song-Ryol said any sanctions would be an “act of war”.
An earthquake early this morning in Japan set off rumors that North Korea had conducted a second nuclear test.
Now how about Donald Rumsfeld’s involvement in North Korea’s nuclear path building two nuclear nuclear light water reactors? Here’s a 2003 Fortune article on the subject.
Nuclear Power Generation and Fuel Cycle Report (1997) :
“Current Status: North Korea has no nuclear plants, but in
December 1995, the Korean Peninsula Energy Development
Organization (KEDO) signed a contract to provide
two light water reactors to a site at Pyongyang. KEDO is 37
a multi-national body consisting of three members—Japan,
South Korea, and the United States, with the European
Union considering active participation.”Department of Energy Report.pdf
