North Korea May Detonate Nuke Tomorrow
(At the end of an article about 30 people murdered by the regime during the transition from Kim Jong-il to Kim Jung-un, the UK Telegraph delivers this....)
...In spite of universal condemnation of its failed attempt to launch what Pyongyang claimed was a rocket to put a satellite into orbit in April, North Korea appears to be putting the finishing touches to a test detonation of a nuclear device.
Kim Min-seok, a spokesman for South Korea's Ministry of Defence, said on Thursday that intelligence reports indicate the North has completed its technical preparations to carry out the long-awaited test and that it could go ahead at any time.
Satellite images of the Punggye-ri site and other data show that the tunnel that had been excavated for the test has been refilled, indicating that the nuclear device has been put in place.
There is speculation that the test may be timed to coincide with the Memorial Day national holiday in the United States, which falls in Monday.
