‘N. KOREA CAN MAKE 10 BOMBS’

SEOUL: North Korea now has enough plutonium to make 10 nuclear bombs, South Korea said yesterday, a week after leader Kim Jong-Un said it was close to testlaunching an intercontinental ballistic missile. The North is thought to be planning a nuclear push as it seeks to develop a weapons system capable of hitting the US mainland. Seoul’s defence ministry said the North is believed to have some 50kg of weapons-grade plutonium as of last year, enough to make about 10 weapons. – AFP
