North Korea conducts nuclear test

North Korea said Monday it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test.
U.S. and South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the underground test was performed successfully and there was no radioactive leakage from the site.
South Korean intelligence officials said a seismic wave of magnitude-3.58 had been detected in North Hamkyung province, according to Yonhap. It said the test was conducted at 10:36 a.m. (9:36 p.m. EDT Sunday) in Hwaderi near Kilju city on the northeast coast, citing defense officials.
North Korean scientists “successfully conducted an underground nuclear test under secure conditions,” the KCNA report said, adding this was “a stirring time when all the people of the country are making a great leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.”
I am sure this will be Bush’s fault somehow, even though a few people point to the 1994 Framework Agreement as being a huge contributor.
And this is of course an excellent opportunity for the UN to do NOTHING.
No matter. God help us.
