North Korea Threatening To Conduct A Nuclear Test

North Korea Threatens To Conduct Nuclear Test -- New York Times

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said on Thursday that the country had no option but to consider another nuclear test after the recent “political provocation” by the United Nations to try to indict the North’s leaders for crimes against humanity.

The statement from the North Korean Foreign Ministry came two days after a committee of the United Nations voted on Tuesday to adopt a resolution that urged the Security Council to refer the leaders of North Korea to the International Criminal Court for prosecution for extensive violations of human rights.

North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests since 2006, the latest in February last year. Its threat of another test came a day after an American research institute reported that the country might be preparing to reprocess spent nuclear fuel to extract weapons-grade plutonium at its main nuclear complex north of its capital, Pyongyang.
