N.Korea says made nuclear weapons By Jon Herskovitz

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Tuesday it made nuclear weapons with its own technology and cash, while accusing the United States of spreading far-fetched assertions Pyongyang counterfeited currency to help finance its atomic ambitions.

Six-party talks on ending North Korea's nuclear weapons programs have hit a snag over a U.S. crackdown on firms it suspects of helping Pyongyang in illicit activities such as counterfeiting and money laundering.

Pyongyang has demanded Washington end what it sees as sanctions aimed at toppling its leaders in order for the talks to resume.

"We manufactured nuclear weapons with our own technology, funds and raw materials from A to Z. As we are not dependent on the U.S. at all in the economic and financial fields, no U.S. sanctions would work on us," a spokesman for North Korea's said.
