US studying more sanctions against N. Korea |
2006-10-27 |
The State Department said Thursday it was studying the imposition of additional sanctions against North Korea for its October 9 nuclear test. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had said Wednesday that the United States "is now obligated by law to adopt additional sanctions on North Korea under national legislation." She mentioned the so-called Glenn Amendment, which bans US assistance to non-nuclear weapon states found to have exploded a nuclear device. In 1998, former President Bill Clinton invoked such sanctions against India and Pakistan after the rivals tested nuclear weapons. |

#4 Bobby, maybe the sanctions yet to be imposed have to do with NKor ships still displaying positive bouyancy. |

#1 SPACEWAR.com article > SORKORS believe NK may have up to 50 kg of PLUTONIUM material, enuff for 3-7 NUCLEAR [= PLUTONIUM?] BOMBS. As before, many pundist-analysts believe that NK was already a de facto [Chinese-controlled] "NUCLEAR POWER/STATE" long before the Norkie's recent alleged test. Ditto by same for Radical Iran. |
