Nork leadership to continue WMD exports
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 -- The U.S. intelligence chief warned Tuesday that North Korea will continue its exports of weapons of massive destruction despite its leadership change."North Korea's export of ballistic missiles and associated materials to several countries, including Iran and Syria, illustrate the reach of the North's proliferation activities," James Clapper, director of national intelligence, told a congressional hearing. "We don't expect Kim Jong-un, North Korea's new young leader, to change Pyongyang's policy of attempting to export most of its weapons systems." Clapper's comments marked one of the firmest assessments by Washington of Pyongyang's new leadership. Posted by: Steve White 2012-02-01 |
