N. Korea Touts Its Nuclear Arsenal, Says Ready To Use On U.S.: Report

North Korea, known for its saber rattling, said Tuesday that it's prepared to use nuclear weapons against the U.S. and other enemies as the isolated nation also touted its nuclear bomb plant. "If the U.S. and other hostile forces persistently seek their reckless hostile policy," North Korea is "fully ready to cope with them with nuclear weapons any time," an atomic energy official said Tuesday, according to a CNN report. The country has restarted its main plant for the production of nuclear bombs, and that's just a day after Pyongyang indicated it may soon launch a long-range rocket, a Wall Street Journal report said.
