Alarm over North Korea's secret deal for Congo uranium

Preparing for war: President Kabila is said to be building up his military capability
For several months North Korea has been supplying troops and training Congolese soldiers engaged in one of Africa's bloodiest civil wars. US and South African intelligence sources fear that Laurent Kabila, the cash-strapped President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, may have given North Korea access to the country's largest uranium mine as payment.
