NUCLEAR WATCHDOG ORDERED TO LEAVE N.KOREA

The International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday that North
Korea has asked its inspectors to leave the country. North Korea
said earlier it will quit talks aimed at disarming the country
of nuclear weapons. The U.S. called the threat a “serious step
in the wrong direction.”
