U.S.: Test points to N. Korea nuke blast


[UPDATE ALREADY]
Once again they are not sure... now it is a mystery.

[UPDATE#2] 10/14/06 -Now it WAS, then it wsn't and now we are back to saying "yes, it was"!!!!!
Anyone else beginning to feel like a yoyo?

Wapo finally produces a decent, objective article. (See? I can admit when Wapo reports actual news instead of making a political statement)

U.S. Preliminary testing shows radioactive gas.


The betting is that this was an attempt at a nuclear test that failed," the official said Friday. "We don't think they were trying to fake a nuclear test, but it may have been a nuclear fizzle." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information.

The test found a type of radioactive gas that would be present after a nuclear detonation, the official said. It is one of a number of analyses conducted this week, which have not provided clarity about what North Korea detonated on Monday.

Full story here.

I will repeat myself, even if the test was a dud, a failure, I have no doubt that North Korea will learn from it's mistakes and try again. No doubt whatsoever.

Right Truth is also trying to keep up with the conflicting reports.
