North Korea: According to ABC News, a "senior State Department official" says that "It is the view of the intelligence community that a (nuclear) test is a real possibility," and says that they have seen "suspicious vehicle movement" at a suspected nuclear test site. However, according to Reuters, a United States official said that "We have no new evidence to support that." Also according to the Associated Press, the White House said that any nuclear weapons test would be an "extremely provocative" act that would be denounced around the globe."

-* Stories added to the main portal page should be of international interest. Stories of only regional or topical interest belong in their appropriate sub-pages.
-* Do not list the ordinary deaths of prominent persons here. That's what [[Recent deaths]] is for. Exceptions to this rule are made for persons of extreme prominence, such as Ronald Reagan, John Paul II, or the Queen Mother.
-* Please do not link to subscription-only sites such as AOL or WSJ (except in the unlikely event that a story is covered substantially better there than anywhere else).
-* Please avoid Yahoo! news links, as those URLs are temporary and die quickly! (You can use a search engine to get the original source.)
