International community condemns North Korea nuclear test

Reporting from Seoul -- As the international community condemned North Korea's nuclear test and missile launch today, analysts said the tests signaled Pyongyang's growing disillusionment over the U.S. refusal to conduct bilateral talks.
North Korea's ailing leader Kim Jong Il, determined to seek more drastic measures to bring the Obama Administration to the bargaining table, could even carry out more nuclear tests as a way to bully the U.S. and its allies, experts said today.
A Russian news agency reported that an official in North Korea's embassy in Moscow has claimed that new tests would take place "if the United States and its allies continue the policy of intimidation against North Korea," Tass reported.
