N Korea 'stops nuclear disabling'

North Korea says it has stopped disabling its nuclear facilities, accusing the US of reneging on a six-party disarmament deal.

Work was suspended on 14 August, a foreign ministry spokesman is quoted as telling the state news agency KCNA.

North Korea says it took the step because the US failed to remove it from a list of state sponsors of terrorism.

But the US says it wants to agree more stringent verification processes before it does so.

North Korea finally submitted a long-delayed account of its nuclear facilities to the six-party talks in June - and was expecting to be removed from the US list of terrorism sponsors in return.


When ever can anybody get sense out of North Korea?
