N. Korea praises 'iron-willed commander' Kim Jong Il
North Korea could be planning another nuclear test for next year, a South Korean think tank warned Friday, as Pyongyang celebrated the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's elevation to military chief, calling him "an invincible and iron-willed commander."
The 19th anniversary of Kim's being named supreme commander of the Korean People's Army came a day after South Korea held massive drills near the world's most heavily armed border _ part of a series of exercises that have angered the North and prompted it to threaten to launch a "sacred" nuclear war if attacked.
