'Large cloud' seen over N. Korea
Sunday, September 12, 2004 Posted: 0435 GMT (1235 HKT)
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- A large cloud appeared over North Korea in
satellite images several days ago, but a U.S. official told CNN it is "no
big deal" and not the result of a nuclear explosion.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency is reporting a mushroom cloud over two
miles (4 km) wide and a massive explosion in North Korea's northernmost
province on September 9 -- the 56th anniversary of North Korea's founding.
South Korea's Unification Minister Chung Dong-young said Sunday the
government was aware of the reports and is checking them.
The U.S. official said the cloud could be the result of a forest fire.
None of North Korea's known nuclear sites are in the country's
northernmost provinces.
However, The New York Times Saturday reported that President Bush and his
top advisers recently received intelligence reports that could indicate
North Korea is preparing a nuclear test, citing senior officials with
access to the intelligence.
