S. Korea detects signs of N. Korea's nuke test
SEOUL, Oct. 9 (Yonhap) -- South Korea received intelligence on Monday that North Korea might have conducted a nuclear test, officials here said.
"President Roh Moo-hyun called in an emergency meeting of related ministers on Monday to discuss the North Korean nuclear issue," Foreign Ministry spokesman Choo Kyu-ho said. "The meeting comes as there has been a grave change in the situation involving the North's nuclear activity."
He refused to go into further detail, citing the sensitivity of the issue.
I told my husband and the first thing he asked was "where?" ;)
Are the markets closed for Columbus Day tomorrow? Sure hope so....
Didn't billyblytheclinton sell the information to everyone?
Assuming it was a fairly small test of 5 kt, and not knowing the supposed time, you likely wouldn't be able to note anything just looking at seismograms on the internet.
We should help them with their testing ...
North Korea confirms it tested a NUKE!!
I think Japan will have their own nukes much sooner than that.
Impossible!! Jimmy Carter and Madeline Half-bright gave me their personal assurances that they had talked the Mad Troll of Pyongyang out of this nuclear weapons program.
Bill Clinton
This could not have happened if I were President.
John "Vichy" Kerry
I keep telling Kim Jong Il that he should be more concerned about global warming than about nuclear weapons.... I just don't understand why he won't listen to me!

North Korea's government is confirming the test.
And if nothing drastic will happen to them, this will be a major encouragement to Iran.
Incorrect. The seismic for the torpedo explosion onboard Russia's Kursk sub showed two munitions kicking off, and that was conventional explosives.
If they did we would be the first to know about it and the first to detect it, we shall wait till the morrow and see what our government will say about it.
Launch a preemptive First Strike against both North Korea and Iran.
Nuke them.
$.75 worth of well directed lead would be a start, I'd splurge for the $1.50 for six Special.

I don't believe this. The Foley story hasn't ended yet.
Drudge just reported that Markets are 'Plunging' in Asia.
