North Korea Lobbing Missiles; Re-Starts Nuke Bomb Plant Violating International Law

North Korea keeps-up a missile launch barrage following Monday's firing of three short-range ballistic missiles from its east coast following an underground nuclear test that has drawn international condemnation and continued with two more missile launches on Tuesday; and, today The Times of London reports that the rogue nation has re-started a plutonium reactor. The Associated Press provides a video report.

Meanwhile, the BBC reports that North Korea is saying it it is no longer bound by the armistice which ended the Korean War in 1953 suggesting that if South Korea joins an international anti-proliferation military exercise allowing South Korea to search the North's ships, war may ensue.

South Korea announced on Tuesday that it would not delay any longer in joining the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) - a US-led non-proliferation campaign involving searching ships carrying suspicious cargos and aimed at stopping the trafficking of weapons of mass destruction.

The BBC suggests there may be a "Game Plan" that started in April with the launch of a rocket capable of harboring a nuclear warehead masked by a suggested space launch.
