“North Korea Conducts Second Nuclear Test”
By EVAN RAMSTAD

SNIPPET: “SEOUL – North Korea said it conducted its second test of a nuclear device on Monday morning, making good on a warning it issued in the wake of a long-range missile test in early April.

This undated photo shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il inspecting the University of Korean People’s Army Unit 10215.

The country’s state media announced the test at noon local time, about two hours after defense monitors in South Korea detected an “artificial earthquake” in the same place where North Korea conducted its first nuclear test in October 2006. North Korea said the explosion was more powerful than occurred in the first test.”
