I do not doubt they were able to construct some sort of crude nuclear device. The original gun barrel design is not difficult to make, if you have the fissile material.

This does not mean they are anywhere near capable of putting a nuclear warhead on any of their missiles. That said, it's still an important event in the fact that such a device can be put on a ship, taken to a port, and detonated in a major population center.

You know if Iranian "observers" were present for the 4th of July missile tests, they were also around for this. The above scenario is not something I would put past either NK or Iran.

Oh, I think one of the first things they'll do is sell one to Iran.

this sort of scenario or something similar is our worst nightmare, exactly why I said NUKE them right now back into the stone age, may God rest their souls.
