NKorea warns it has restarted all nuclear bomb fuel plants
With a big anniversary drawing near, North Korea declared Tuesday it has upgraded and restarted all of its atomic fuel plants -- meaning it could possibly make more, and more sophisticated, nuclear weapons.
The statement, coming just a day after it said it is ready to conduct more rocket launches any time it sees fit, has heightened concerns the North may soon either conduct a launch -- which Washington and its allies see as a pretext for testing missile technology -- or hold another test of nuclear weapons that it could conceivably place on such a rocket.
Either would be sure to get world attention and be milked by North Korea's state media as major achievements by Kim Jong Un and his ruling regime.
