North Korea Has Become A Fully Fledged Nuclear Power With The Capacity To Wipe Out Entire Cities In Japan & South Korea

The world’s intelligence agencies and defense experts are quietly acknowledging that North Korea has become a fully fledged nuclear power with the capacity to wipe out entire cities in Japan and South Korea, the Times of London reported.

The new reality has emerged in off-hand remarks and in single sentences buried in lengthy reports. Increasing numbers of authoritative experts — from the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the U.S. Defense Secretary — are admitting that North Korea has miniaturized nuclear warheads to the extent that they can be launched on medium-range missiles, according to intelligence briefings.

This puts it ahead of Iran in the race for nuclear attack capability and seriously alters the balance of power between North Korea’s large but poorly equipped military and the South Korean and U.S. forces ranged against it. “North Korea has nuclear weapons, which is a matter of fact,” the head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, said this week. “I don’t like to accept any country as a nuclear weapon state we have to face reality.”

North Korea carried out an underground nuclear test in 2006 but until recently foreign governments believed that such nuclear devices were useless as weapons because they were too unwieldy to be mounted on a missile.

With 13,000 artillery pieces buried close to the border between the two Koreas, and chemical and biological warheads, it was always understood that the North could inflict significant conventional damage on Seoul, the South Korean capital. Military planners had calculated, however, that it could not strike outside the peninsula.

Now North Korea’s supreme leader, Kim Jong Il, has the potential to kill millions in Japan as well as the South, and to lay waste U.S. bases and airfields in both countries. It will force military strategists to rethink plans for war in Korea and significantly increase the potential costs of any intervention in a future Korean war. The shift from acknowledging North Korea’s nuclear weapons development program to recognizing it as a fully fledged nuclear power is highly controversial. South Korea, in particular, resists the reclassification because it could give the North greater leverage in negotiations.

PHILADELPHIA — Two fire trucks responding to a call collided at a downtown intersection Thursday, injuring nine firefighters, one seriously.

Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said none of the injuries appeared life-threatening after the crash, which involved a ladder truck and a fire engine in a residential neighborhood.

The most seriously injured firefighter, a lieutenant on the ladder truck, was knocked unconscious and had to be cut from the wreckage.

Ayers said he spoke at a hospital with the injured lieutenant, whose first question was, "How's my guys?"

The ladder truck and the fire engine had been speeding along perpendicular streets before they slammed into each other. The ladder truck then spun off and smashed into a utility pole, caving in one of its sides, while the fire engine clattered into the back of a parked car.

No other injuries were reported, but a woman inside a flower shop nearly struck by the ladder truck was taken to a hospital for observation because she was shaken up, Ayers said.

The cause of the crash was under investigation.

Four other fire trucks made it to the two-story home where the fire was reported and extinguished the flames.

Jordan Valley Shooting Leaving 2 Dead - Fatah Says Responsible

Two Israeli policemen were killed Sunday evening near Moshav Massua in the Jordan Valley region near the Gilboa area. According to Ma'ariv-NRG, the two are policemen whose squad car overturned after it was fired at. Both had reportedly been shot in the head.

Channel 1 says that the car was ambushed from very close range and carried an initial report that Fatah-Tanzim, which is headed by Mahmoud Abbas, had taken responsibility for the attack. Another report said that an unknown group named the "Imad Mughnieh Squads" took responsibility for the murders which it said were committed "in response to the crimes of occupation against the Palestinian people."

Magen David Adom Director Eli Bin told Channel 1 television Sunday night that a rescue helicopter was initially told not to approach the scene of the shooting because of concern over a possible firefight with terrorists.

Rescue forces have reached the scene. These include police cars, ambulances, military medical forces. ZAKA volunteers have also ben summoned to the spot.

Residents of the area were instructed to remain in their homes, because the shooters are still at large. Investigators have still not ruled out the possibility of a criminal motivation for the attack, although this seems unlikely.

There has been speculation that the attack was timed to coincide with the efforts to reach a deal with Hamas for the release of hundreds of terrorists in return for abducted soldier Gilad Shalit.
