According to the Korea Times, a South Korea newspaper (October 16, 2006), a report to the South Korean legislature revealed for the first time that the last piece of missile warhead fired by North Korea was found in the U.S. state of Alaska.

The report came from the Japanese foreign minister, Taro Nakayama. “Washington, as well as Tokyo, has so far underrated Pyongyang’s missile capabilities,” Nakayama is quoted as saying in the report to the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. His source for the information about the missile falling in Alaska came from some American documents furnished to the Japanese government, he said.

This revelation came on the heels of a startling announcement. On October 9, 2006, North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency announced that the Communist country had successfully conducted an underground nuclear test. They had been warned by the entire world community, including China and Russia, not to do nuclear testing. Their announcement shocked the world and prompted the United Nations Security Council to pass a resolution condemning North Korea’s action

This means that this country, thumbing its nose at world opinion and often challenging other nations with a belligerent pose and hostile words, has not only the ability to explode a nuclear device but also the capability to deliver it to the shores of the United States.

As threatening as this sounds, however, there is something even more frightening about North Korea’s nuclear capabilities: this is that the Communist regime will sell weapons and technology to the world’s evil terrorists. North Korea manufactured and sold the Scud missile that were used by Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War.

An Ominous Warning from IsraelIsrael Today reported that on October 15, 2006, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told his cabinet that taking the North Korean nuclear problem lightly will result in nuclear weapons in Iran and, ultimately, in the hands of Al Qaeda., according to.

There is nobody who thinks that if Iran gets a nuclear weapon it will not get into the hands of other elements.

He specifically mentions Hezbollah and al-Qaeda. Both groups actively recruits and gives orientation to suicide bombers. Al-Qaeda has no country of its own, and practices ongoing attempts to de-stabilize the governments of nations it does not like. It takes no responsibility in the community of civilized and peace-loving nations.

Consequently, the international community is worried about what will happen if nuclear devices fall into the hands of rogue and lunatic organizations. “This is a very dangerous situation,” Olmert added.
