It seems that N.Korea backed off without Junior's threats. Maybe they began to notice that it was hurting the negotiations with S.Korea. State-run Pyongyang Radio reported Sunday that the North "has come to have nuclear and other strong military weapons due to nuclear threats by U.S. imperialists," said South Korea's Yonhap news agency, which monitors broadcasts from the North. But late Monday, another North Korean state-run radio station, Central, carried a slightly altered version of the report, reverting to the North's obscure stand on whether the country has nuclear weapons, Yonhap said. In its version, Central Radio said North Korea "is entitled to have nuclear and other strong military weapons due to nuclear threats by U.S. imperialists" — a phrase the country's leadership has used since acknowledging in October that it had a covert program to make nuclear weapons with enriched uranium.
