North Korea may be preparing nuclear bomb test: Foreign media
WASHINGTON: North Korea may be preparing an underground test of a nuclear bomb, foreign media reported on Friday, but U.S. officials told media they had no new evidence of such a plan.
The foreign media quoted an unnamed senior military official as saying a U.S. intelligence agency had recently observed “suspicious vehicle movement” at a suspected North Korean test site.
A senior State Department official, who was also not identified, told the network, “It is the view of the intelligence community that a test is a real possibility.”
Asked about the report, a senior U.S. official told media: “We have no new evidence to support that.” Another official, who also declined to be identified, said there was no indication of a threat in the near term.
South Korean government officials had no comment on the report.
Come on Korea, just get it over and done with so it can give Iran an excuse to test one as well.
