CNN is quoting a US official saying that the blast was not nuclear.

In a way that's even more curious.

CNN's website is reporting that a US official says that the mushroom cloud could be the result of a forest fire.

Seems a little farfetched, but hard to prove either way considering how insular N Korea is...

Could be a joint CIA/CHINA sabotage, as was likely the explosion in April.

I will say this about NK...they are a bunch of incompetent fools. Its very likely...to make the honorable Kim happy...that they were supposed to blow up a nuke...but couldn't do it. So the general's cooked up a scheme to use high explosive...and make it appear to be a nuke. What they didn't anticipate is that the US can monitor air quality and immedately tell if a nuke was used. The honorable Kim...if he reads this....will likely go blastic himself. I doubt seriously that they can mount a nuke explosive. These are a bunch of dim-witted fools...like asking the Nebraska football team to devise a solar energy plan for America...they would do something just for looks but never come up with a real plan.
