North Korea comes clean on nuclear matters
Canada News.Net
Thursday 26th June, 2008
North Korea has submitted a long awaited inventory of its nuclear activities.
The document includes the extent of North Korea's plutonium stockpile.
The provision of the inventory is part of an agreement reached during the Six Nation talks, to which China, Russia, South Korea, Japan and the United States are all parties.
North Korea promised to submit the document months ago, but kept postponing it.
The next step in the declaration will be for North Korea to destroy its nuclear cooling tower at the Yongbyon atomic complex.
President Bush has said once this is done, he will take North Korea off US blacklists by notifying Congress.
North Korea was put on the US blacklist in 1988 after its agents were found to have bombed a South Korean airliner the previous year, killing all 115 people on board.

North Korea comes clean on nuclear matters
I wonder what North Korea is going to blackmail us out of this time. Put nuclear weapons in South Korea and see what they say.
