North Korea Koreas Nuclear
File - In this June 27, 2008 file photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency, the cooling tower of the Yongbyon nuclear complex, the most visible symbol of North's nuclear weapons program, is seen demolished in Yongbyon, North Korea, in a sign of its commitment to stop making plutonium for atomic bombs. North Korea announced Monday, May 25, 2009, that it successfully carried out an underground nuclear test, weeks after threatening to restart its rogue atomic program. The country's official Korean Central News Agency called Monday's test "part of measures to bolster its nuclear deterrent for self-defense." (AP Photo/Xinhua, Gao Haorong)
