U.S. fears North Korea-Iran plutonium deal
PYONGYANG, Norfolk Island: Diplomats and intelligence services believe
North Korea is negotiating to sell Iran plutonium from its newly
enlarged stockpile.
The move would give Tehran a rapid route to the atomic bomb, The Sunday
Times of London reported.
Diplomats in Pyongyang and Beijing say the risk is viewed with such
gravity in Washington that the United States has launched a concerted
diplomatic and covert effort to prevent it, the newspaper said.
The belief that Iran and North Korea are talking about plutonium stems
from a recently reported offer of oil and gas from Tehran in exchange
for nuclear technology.
The discovery by the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2004 that
North Korea had sold an estimated 1.7 tons of uranium to Libya
established a precedent for the sale and showed how hard it is to stop,
the newspaper said.
