WASHINGTON: North Korea received designs for uranium enrichment centrifuges from Pakistan's disgraced nuclear scientist A Q Khan in return for
its long-range missiles, a Congressional report has told US lawmakers.

"Hwang Jang-yop, a Communist Party secretary who defected in 1997, has stated that North Korea and Pakistan agreed in the summer of 1996 to trade North Korean long-range missile technology for Pakistani HEU (highly enriched uranium) technology," the report on North Korean nuclear weapons programme has said.

Other information on North Korean-Pakistani cooperation dates back to 1993, said the report by Congressional Research Service (CRS) - the research wing of the US Congress.

North Korea has been exporting missiles to countries in the Middle East and South Asia and has had joint collaboration in development of missiles with Iran and Pakistan, it said.

We need to shut both these countries' terrorist/blackmail programs or the world will not be safe. No more money and trade with either of these countries.

North Korea has yet to launch a long-range missile that went further than its short range missiles do.

3. the world will not be safe until the US, Russia and China, etc

gives up their nukes, just like everyone else. I'm amazed at people who wring their hands at other countries scratching at the dirt, while the US et. al. stands armed to the teeth with (and ready to use) nuclear weapons of all shapes and sizes.
