Korea preps to test nukes Kim Jong Il says communist nation still open to possible disarmament

By Bo-Mi Lim The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea triggered global alarm Tuesday by saying it will conduct a nuclear test, a key step in the manufacture of atomic bombs that it views as a deterrent against any U.S. attack. But it also said it was committed to nuclear disarmament, suggesting a willingness to negotiate. The contradictory statement fits a North Kore- an pattern of ratcheting up tension on the Korean Peninsula, a Cold War-era flashpoint, in an at- tempt to win concessions like economic aid. The strategy has had mixed results in recent years as the totalitarian regime sinks deeper into isolation and poverty, with China serving as its lifeline for food and fuel. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called Melea Burke/Lariat staff North Korea’s announcement “a very provocative act.” It came as the standoff deepened over Iran’s Face full of foam nuclear program, with senior U.N. diplomats say- ing six world powers would begin negotiations Christine Browder, a Dallas freshman, attacks Little Rock, Ark., freshman Kyle McLeod with a handful of shaving cream during Freshman Follies Tuesday night at Bear Park.
