North Korea 'may have six bombs'
By Bethany Bell
BBC News, Vienna

UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohammed ElBaradei has told US television his agency estimates that North Korea could have up to six nuclear weapons.

Recent reports say North Korea is preparing to test a nuclear bomb.

In an interview with CNN, Mr ElBaradei said Pyongyang had enough plutonium to make five or six nuclear weapons.

He went on to say that his agency knew the North Koreans also had the "industrial infrastructure to weaponise this plutonium".

North Korea announced in February that it had nuclear arms.

Inspectors for the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been unable to verify the claim because they were kicked out of North Korea at the end of 2002.

Shunned talks

An IAEA spokeswoman, Melissa Fleming, told the BBC there was no way the agency could know for sure whether North Korea had six bombs.

But she said it would not be surprising if it did.

Pyongyang has shunned multilateral talks on its nuclear programme for almost a year.

Recently, reports have suggested it is preparing to test a nuclear bomb.

Mr ElBaradei has warned that a nuclear test would have disastrous political and environmental consequences.

He has urged Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table.

I don't believe anything these people say anymore. Wasn't Iraq suppose to have a shit load of stuff, and what did they find? Nothing.

If "these people" means the current administration of the United States of America they I would agree with you.

However this is from the UN which has a bit more credibility to me when it comes to WMD.

As someone else mentioned, it doesn't matter what N.Korea actually says, they'll never beat Sega when it comes to bomba output! :lol

Yeah but with Sega their bombs have no impact.

Mainly they do it to test the yield. You never know how powerful your bombs are until you actually blow one up. I know back in the day the US actually surprised itself by making bombs that were significantly higher in yield than they predicted.

There have been around 2,000 nuclear test explosions:
U.S.: 1,030 tests (involving 1,125 devices)
Soviet Union: 715 tests
France: 210 tests
Britain: 45 tests (21 in Australian territory, including 9 in mainland South Australia at Maralinga and Emu Field, many others in the U.S.)
China: 45 tests (23 atmospheric and 22 underground, all conducted at Lop Nur Nuclear Weapons Test Base, in Malan, Xinjiang)
India: 6 tests.
Pakistan: 6 tests.

Difference is that while Saddam vehemently denied it and proved himself right by using basically nothing even while his army was getting it's ass kicked up and down the Middle East, North Korea's been pulling out their nuclear dick and rubbing it in America's mug the last three years.
