N Korea nuclear seals 'removed'
Recent reports that North Korea has relaunched its nuclear program, after initially agreeing to halt its progress in return for international aid, appear to be true. UN inspectors reported this morning that seals have been removed at its main nuclear plant, and nuclear inspectors have been forbidden to enter the premisis.
Seals that prevented North Korea from using its main nuclear plant at Yongbyon have been removed, the UN's atomic watchdog says.
North Korean officials have also said that UN inspectors will have no further access to the Yongbyon plant.
The move comes amid a dispute over an international disarmament-for-aid deal for North Korea.
Pyongyang says Washington has not taken it off a list of state sponsors of terrorism, as previously promised.
North Korea has also told UN inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that "they plan to introduce nuclear material to the reprocessing plant in one week's time", IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said.

Dave Keating, I like this story. It's good stuff.
With Kim seemingly out of the picture, the the UN even know who's running this show?
Hell in a handbasket, anyone?

Dave Keating, I like this story. It's good stuff. So they can reach with a nuclear warhead Alaska from the new launch station.

In repeated agreements with Pyongyang the USA has failed to keep its promises every time. The money, fuel and aid Washington agreed to send never get their, and we go back to square one.
Iran is no danger at all compared to North Korea, yet that is where the USA focuses its energy. Can anyone say AIPAC?
More blundering by the Bushites.
