N Korea won't rule out 2nd test

October 11, 2006

There's evidence that the United States is re-inforcing missle defences in Japan as Tokyo stands ready to announce its own further unitlateral sanctions. Early media reports that North Korea had conducted a nuclear test are being discounted by the Japanese government.
