Libya denuclearization model for N.Korea: Bolton
by Staff Writers
Washington (AFP) April 29, 2018

Libya's decision to give up its nuclear program through diplomacy is a model for efforts to have North Korea do likewise, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said Sunday.

"We have very much in mind the Libya model from 2003, 2004," Bolton told Fox News Sunday when asked if North Korea would have to fully give up its nuclear weapons, fuel and missiles before the US makes concessions.

"There are obviously differences, the Libyan program was much smaller. But that was basically the agreement that we made," Bolton said.

"We'll want to test North Korea in this first meeting for evidence that they have made this strategic decision" to end their program, he said.

But Libya's move to scrap its nuclear program also serves as a model of what North Korea fears will happen: its government was later overthrown by rebel forces supported by Western air strikes.

Pyongyang regularly cites the fates of Saddam Hussein in Iraq -- whose government was overthrown in a US-led invasion -- and Libya's Moamer Kadhafi, as evidence of the need for nuclear arms.

North Korea nuclear test site part-collapsed: Chinese experts
Beijing (AFP) April 25, 2018
North Korea's underground nuclear test site has partially collapsed following a massive bomb blast last year, making it unusable, Chinese seismologists have concluded. The North's leader Kim Jong Un declared last week that his regime would halt nuclear and long-range missile tests and shut down its nuclear site at Punggye-ri under Mount Mantap in the country's northeast. The offer came days before his summit this Friday with the South's President Moon Jae-in, which is scheduled to be followed by ... read more
