North Korea's nuclear claims cut talks short

ASSOCIATED PRESS in Beijing
Talks in Beijing ended yesterday after US officials said North Korea claimed to have nuclear weapons and might test, export or use them. North Korea said it presented a new proposal to resolve the dispute but it was ignored.

The White House reacted by stressing the need for the US to investigate North Korea's claim of having nuclear weapons.

The three-day talks were the first high-level US-North Korean contact since tensions over the North's nuclear ambitions increased in October.

Despite the apparent impasse, the discussions were a "very good start" and both sides agreed to meet again, Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said.

North Korean delegate Ri Gun told US Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly that North Korea had reprocessed all 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods in its possession, a senior US official in Washington said. If true, that would put the North much closer to building six to eight additional weapons beyond the one or two it is believed to have.
