- <p>Now North Korea shuts its doors to international nuclear
- inspectors
- </p>
- <p> Yet another weapons-inspection team was dispatched to Iraq last
- Friday, one more reminder of the International Atomic Energy
- Agency's failure to spot and squelch Saddam Hussein's budding
- nuclear warfare capability long before the Gulf War even began.
- Now, hoping to avert a similar embarrassment, the agency is
- headed for a different showdown with North Korea. The IAEA has
- warned the insular communist regime that if North Korea does
- not open its doors this time, the agency will bare its teeth
- and press for an unprecedented U.N. Security Council-backed
- "special inspection" of two buildings suspected of storing nuclear
- waste. Reneging on earlier promises, the government barred agency
- officials from inspecting the sites at the Yongbyon nuclear
- complex for evidence of military application.
