North Korea called for a "holy war against the United States" today and declared it was ready to resume missile tests and may start reprocessing spent fuel rods from its nuclear reactor to make atomic bombs.

One day after the communist North announced it was quitting an anti-nuclear pact, government leaders staged a rally in Pyongyang to declare they would seek "revenge with blood" toward any country that violates their sovereignty.

Son Mun San, in charge of Pyongyang's relations with the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency, said in Vienna that spent fuel rods were locked down after a 1994 deal with the United States under which Washington promised big oil deliveries and two light-water nuclear reactors in return for North Korea shutting down its Yongbyon nuclear facility.

While this administration is divided, it seems that North Korea is even more split with diplomats in Washington assuring that atomic weapons will not be made while a rally assures the people they will be made. Note that the fuel rods were locked down under Clinton - came out after changes in policy by Bush.
