Resources on North Korea

Despite warnings from the international community, North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Friday, but it broke apart before escaping the earth's atmosphere and fell into the sea, signaling continued instability after the death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il.  NTI, in partnership with James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, offers extensive web resources for reporters looking for background and information on the North Korea nuclear weapons program.  Also included are links to coverage by Global Security Newswire, produced by National Journal.
