NATO condemns North Korea's nuclear test

NATO's governing body is harshly criticizing North Korea's recent nuclear test, calling it "irresponsible" and a flagrant violation of UN Security council actions.

"This irresponsible act, along with the December missile launch, poses a grave threat to international peace, security and stability," said a statement from the North Atlantic Council. "North Korea's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction represents continued defiance of the UN Security Council and the broader international community." (AP)
