FOX News 북한 결사 항전 의지 천명

 

The message tonight from across the DMZ, your sanctions won’t stop us. North Korea raises the stakes to a whole new level promising to turn its plutonium into nuclear weapons and vowing to go to war with any nation that stands in its way. We are building the bomb and if you try to stop us, we will attack that. The new threat from a rogue nation vent on extending its arsenal of the most destruction weapons on earth, North Korea we’re talking about. Promising an all-out assault on the US or any other country for that matter that tries to enforce new sanctions endorsed by the international community. Specifically, a United Nation’s provision that encourages searches of North Korean ships that are suspected of smuggling supplies for Pyongyang’s nuclear program. But this by the way isn’t the only warning coming across from the DMZ. For the first time, never in fact North Korea publically acknowledging what western intelligence already suspected.

 

It’s running a secret uranium enrichment program and there’s more. The North says it’s going to take its current stock pile of another material, plutonium and weaponize it. In other words, turn it into nuclear warheads. Molly Henneberg live in Washington with more on this developing story tonight. Hi there, Molly?

 

Hi, Julie? North Korea has made it very clear that it wants to be a nuclear power, and today revealed more details on how far it’s gone in that process both with plutonium and the secret uranium enrichment program. Weapons experts say the secret uranium enrichment program is more significant than the plutonium announcement because uranium is easier to weaponize, easier to hide, easier to use in an attack because it can delivered by missile. Julie? Molly Henneberg in Washington. Thank you very much, Molly.

 

Well, of course, we have known for years about North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, but until now the country never publically declared its intentions. But if you take a look back at Pyongyang’s action across the past 20 years or so, you can actually see that we wound up at this crossroads. Analysts think the North Koreans first started to accumulate material for a bomb in the mid 1980s. But it wasn’t until 1992 the world had solid evidence. That’s when the UN’s nuclear watch dog said North Korea had been diverting plutonium from its civilian program alarmed by this Clinton White House helped broker a deal with Pyongyang in 1994. Well, the North agreed to freeze its plutonium based weapons program in exchange for energy assistance and economic aid. But that agreement? It broke down in 2002. And that’s when US officials say the North admitted the existence of a secret nuclear program. Four years later, North Korea conducted its first nuclear test. And just three weeks ago, it carried out its second.

 

Bottom of the hour. Time for the top of the news and major headlines today. Out of both Iran and North Korea, two nations working at a fever pitch to develop nuclear technology. Let’s begin with North Korea. The communist nation admitting for the very first time that it is running a uranium enrichment program and saying it plans to weaponize its plutonium. And their message to the rest of the world, try to stop us and we’ll attack you.
