US intelligence suggests NKorea blast radioactive
Wasington, Oct 14: A preliminary US intelligence analysis has shown radioactivity in air samples collected near a suspected North Korean nuclear test site, a US official said.
''That's right, though this is only a first look. People have been saying all along that the working assumption is it was a nuke,'' said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity yesterday.
