(2nd LD) N. Korea says it will bolster nuclear deterrent in a 'newly developed way'

By Chang Jae-soon and Sam Kim

SEOUL, June 28 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said Monday it will bolster its nuclear arsenal "in a newly developed way" to counter what it calls U.S. hostile policy and military threats toward the communist nation.

The North also claimed in a separate statement that the U.S. has brought "heavy weapons" into a truce village that straddles the divided Koreas, warning of strong military action if they are not quickly withdrawn.

North Korea has stepped up its fiery rhetoric against the U.S. in recent weeks after Washington sided with Seoul in condemning Pyongyang for the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship in March.

"The recent disturbing development on the Korean Peninsula underscores the need for the DPRK to bolster its nuclear deterrent in a newly developed way," a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name.

Not the nuclear hand grenade, again!

We tried it in the 70s, but with a bursting radius of 1/4 mile, only the Marines bought 'em!

It was news 10 days ago that the Norks had been doing serious work on the 2nd stage of an H-bomb, and not just a run-of-the-mill atom bomb.

But WHO KNOWS, since the Norks are 2nd only to the Iranians about confabulating new weapons technology...
