SEOUL - NORTH Korea said on Saturday it would weaponise all of its plutonium and start enriching uranium in response to UN Security Council sanctions slapped on it for missile firings and a nuclear test.
'Firstly, all plutonium to be extracted will be weaponised. One third of used fuel rods have so far been reprocessed,' its foreign ministry said in a statement.
CAPE CANAVERAL (Florida) - NASA delayed the launch of space shuttle Endeavour on Saturday by at least four days because of a potentially dangerous hydrogen gas leak similar to one that cropped up three months ago.
The countdown was halted shortly after midnight, about 2 hours into the fueling of the external tank and less than seven hours before Endeavour was due to blast off on the space station construction mission. The astronauts had yet to suit up.
