North Korea preparing for double barrel Nuke test – underground explosion and Nuke loaded long range missile in the pacific ocean

North Korea is preparing something that can cause lot of tension in the world. Sources indicate that they may be planning to explode a plutonium device underground and simultaneously fire a nuke loaded long range ballistic missile towards Hawaii in the Pacific ocean. This is nothing but lunatic behavior from a desperate regime, say some International think-tanks.

The United States told the International Atomic Energy Agency and its allies that North Korea has been preparing for an underground nuclear test since March. Japan's Kyodo News reported May 1. Washington estimates that the test could occur as early as June. The intelligence of the small-scale plutonium warhead test reportedly was obtained through satellite photos and U.S. and South Korean operatives placed in North Korea.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency said May 1 that South Korean intelligence officials have confirmed a short-range missile was fired north of Hamhung, North Korea. Seoul's Defense Ministry has yet to confirm the report. White House chief of staff Andrew Card told CNN May 1 that North Korea apparently has conducted a short-range missile test. Card said that the missile landed in the Sea of Japan.

According to some international political analysts, North Korea wants to exert on the rest of the world, if nothing, they can pose some serious nuisance. The preparation for the tests may be just to scare the rest of the world to treat them with “goodies” like before. Bush Administration’s attitude towards North Korea and Iran is simple. Get rid of nukes or else! That is what is really bothering the North Koreans. They want to prepare for these tests so that they can start bargaining "deals" like before.
