Is Iran About to Test a Nuclear Bomb In North Korea?
On December 24, a research report from the South Korean Foreign Ministry Institute indicated that North Korea would carry out another nuclear bomb test after the beginning of the year. -- South Korean media reported earlier this month that the North was digging a tunnel in preparation for such a nuclear test.

At the same time, reports from inside Iran indicate that a team of Iranian nuclear scientists have been sent to North Korea and that the two governments have agreed on a joint nuclear test in North Korea with a substantial financial reward for the Kim Jong-Il government.

1. Wow. One of the more incendiary bits of propaganda, even for Fox.

Must be one of those WMDs that Saddam snuck into Iran to deprive Bush of his Mission Accomplished moment. Sneaky.

And, who's the author of this Fox News Opinion piece? An anonymous Iranian exile turned CIA informant. Where have we seen that before?

4. Ah but nothing is *too* outlandish for an anti-nuke post is it?

Mind you, the above is really scraping the barrel, even for them ...

2. I doubt that....

...Iran would risk sending something like that to Korea. Any leak anywhere in the chain and the ship / plane could mysteriously dissappear. Besides it is not as if Iran doesnt have wasteland to blow up.

To channel Dr Stranglove, the entire point of having a doomsday device is lost if you dont tell others about it.
