North Korean announcement.
North Korea triggered global alarm Tuesday by saying it will conduct a nuclear test, an announcement that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called “a very provocative act.”
It was the first time that North Korea had publicly announced its intent to conduct a nuclear test. But the announcement also said North Korea was committed to nuclear disarmament, suggesting a willingness to negotiate.
