UN atom watchdog team in N Korea next week - IAEA

VIENNA, June 18 (Reuters) A high-level delegation from the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency will visit North Korea next week to discuss how IAEA inspectors will monitor Pyongyang's promised atomic shutdown, the agency said today.

The move came two days after the Communist state said it had invited nuclear inspectors into the country as part of a deal reached with five powers in February to mothball its nuclear weapons programme in exchange for aid.
