Rice warns N. Korea against conducting 2nd nuke test (snip)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16
KYODO

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned North Korea on Monday against conducting a second nuclear test, saying it would further isolate Pyongyang in the international community.

''We're watching it obviously, and discussing with other parties as well,'' Rice said at a press conference when asked about reported indications that North Korea may be preparing to conduct a second nuclear test following the first one on Oct. 9.

''I think it goes to say that would further deepen the isolation of North Korea and I hope they would not take such a provocative act,'' Rice said. . .
