North Korea reportedly conducting more experiments

North Korea is conducting biological weapons experiments to test the possibility of loading anthrax-laden warheads on its intercontinental ballistic missiles, it has been reported.

Japan's Asahi newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing an unidentified person connected to South Korean intelligence, that North Korea was conducting biological weapons experiments to test the possibility of loading anthrax-laden warheads on its intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The Asahi report said the U.S. government was aware of the tests, which were meant to ascertain whether the anthrax bacteria could survive the high temperatures that occur during warheads re-entry from space.

North Korea vehemently denied the allegation and said it will 'take revenge' on the US for saying it is developing biological weapons. In a statement issued via the state Korean Central News Agency, the regime said it is party to the Biological Weapons Convention and as such 'maintains its consistent stand to oppose development, manufacture, stockpiling and possession of biological weapons'.
