SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae said Monday there are signs that North Korea may be preparing for another nuclear test.

In a meeting with lawmakers, the policymaker said that Seoul is aware of indications that another test is being planned, but he failed to go into details.

The remarks came after a lawmaker citing unspecified reports said that there has been an increase in the movements of vehicles and personnel near the Punggye-ri test complex in North Hamgyong Province.

The site was used for the country's three previous nuclear tests. The last test occurred on Feb. 12.

That headline made me think it was one of Sun Myung Moon’s successors giving an opinion.

Here’s an interesting thought... what if the CIA, in cooperation with the Mossad, succeeds in assassinating Kim Jong Un, who takes over when he dies and what happens next?

More than being rid of the little toad, what might be the fate of the NORK's nuclear scientists and engineers? Quick trip to Iran?

They might better take out Kim along with his aunt and Uncle.

Recently read an article that Kim is afraid of the people rising up ...has trippled security around himself , homes etc....and armed visibly ...even his plain clothed thugs.

Maybe the Senkaku islands have something to do with this?

Funny thing is U.S. just stated they will not shoot down a North Korean missile unless it will land on U.S. territory. How will they know when to shoot?
